How do I change an employee from full time, part time or casual?

Changes to working arrangements can be updated in an employee's record. This may include changes to pay rate, hours worked, and entitlements.

If the employee has unpaid leave which needs to be paid out, there may be rules around the payment of unused leave, so check with your accounting advisor if unsure.

You can then update the employee's payroll details to match their new working arrangement. See Adding an employee for help.

What if I need to change an employee’s pay rate in the middle of a pay cycle?

Any rate changes you make in an employee's contact record will apply from the start of their next pay period.

If you need to change an employee's rate during a pay period, create an earning pay item called "Old pay rate" or similar.

When you then do your next pay run, edit the employee's pay to:

  • enter the hours/amount they worked on their old rate against the "Old pay rate" earning, and
  • enter the hours/amount they worked on their new rate against Salary or Ordinary hours.
