For Leave you can calculate rates using Formulas based on values in transactions. Examples of this include Leave in New Zealand which can based on average earnings and Pre Injury Average Weekly Earnings (PIAWE) for Work Cover payments. Included Components are nominated in Transaction Totals and then used in the Formula. To include or exclude components from being used in a formula you need to update the Transaction Totals. For more information on some of the specific Formula set ups refer to our articles below:

To Update an existing Transaction Total:

  1. Go to Common, Maintenance, Calculations, Transaction Totals.

  2. Edit the Transaction Total.

  3. Depending on what you want to add or remove select on the below tabs:

    • Pay Components

    • Additions / Deductions

    • Leave Reasons - this is available if Other Leave is included in Pay Components

    • User Defined Leave - this is available if User Defined Leave is included in Pay Components

  4. The setup of each tab can be done one of two ways, either selecting specific codes to include or including All and specifying the exceptions. The setup will be either:
    ​

    • Each specific code is nominated and Included is ticked.

    • All codes are included and specific codes are excluded. With this option the All box (e.g. All Additions Before Tax) will be ticked and the exclusions listed with Included unticked.

  5. To add a code to the list, click Select, select the code and tick or untick Included.

  6. To remove a code from the list, select the code from the list and click Remove.

  7. Once all changes have been made, click OK to save.
