Timesheet splitting

Partial time and a half for night shifts on public holidays

In this example, the employee worked from 8:00pm on 06/04/23 to 4:00am on 07/04/23, which was a public holiday. The employee’s timesheet needs to be split to allocate time and a half for the portion worked on the public holiday

Unpaid time remains allocated to the original timesheet

11. Update any of the following details as required:

  • Job
  • Activity
  • SHW/OWD (explained below)
  • Rows
  • Units
  • Hourly rate
  • Unit rate
  • Notes

As shown in the screenshot in step 10, the system automatically ticked the SHW box after the timesheet was split, as it recognised that 07/04/23 was a public holiday. This means that the employee will be paid time and a half for the period between 12:01 AM to 4:00 AM. Additionally, when SHW is ticked, OWD is also ticked, which means the employee will receive time and a half plus a day in lieu or 2.5 times their normal hourly rate if they are a casual (HPAYG) employee.
