Awards List in yor Payroll Software

Create customized reports in your Payroll Software by Elite.

If you want Elite Payroll Software to speed up the entry of employees, or if your employees come under a federal award, you should set up awards before you set up your employees. If you have staff that are paid different rates for different times of the day, then you must also set up awards for these employees.

Awards let you set up Payroll Software details that a group of employees have in common. When you apply the award to an employee, the following details are transferred from the award to the employee record:

 Department

 Pay period

 Superannuation calculation

 Leave accrual details

 Allowances (optional)

 Additional pay rates (optional)

 Shift pay rates (required only for timesheet awards)

Once awards have been created, adding new employees or changing pay details for a group of employees becomes quick and easy.

Awards are generally optional, however if you want to pay employees using Timesheet method, you must set up awards with the timesheet section completed.

Adding or editing an Award

1 From the Lists menu, choose Awards. The Awards List appears.

To add an award from the Tour Guide, click Create New Award from the Company section.

2 To create a new award, click Awards>New. The Adding a New Award window is displayed.

3 To edit an existing award, select the award, and click Awards>Edit. The Editing Award window is displayed.

4 Complete the award details on the three tabs:

Standard Details Tab

Payments Detail Tab

Timesheet Payments Tab (only if creating a timesheet award)

5 Click OK when you have completed all the details.

Deleting an Award

The Delete button is disabled and you won't be able to delete it until you remove the award from any employee records or a pays that use it. To delete an award, click on the name of the award so it is highlighted, click Awards>Delete and then click OK to confirm that you want to delete the award.

Note You will need to change any employees who are under the award that you delete. If you don't change them to another award you may find that their pays calculate incorrectly or don't calculate at all.
