Status - Click on the down arrow, then select Full Time, Part Time, Casual, or Salary from the list.

 

Special Award Rate $ - A rate entered here will be the hourly rate the employee is paid instead of the rate set in the award. This field is useful in a situation where there are a number of employees who have mostly the same employment conditions (hours, accruals etc) except for hourly rate.  They could all be linked to the single award but some could have their own rate in this field in their employee details. This avoids having to set up more awards than necessary. Where 0.00000 appears the employee will be paid by the hourly rate set in the award.

 

'Use $XXXX.XX As Special Award Rate' - Same as Nominal Base Bross - Wages / Salary and Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly Gross above. Allows you to enter an employee specific hourly rate.  It will automatically alter the  Nominal Base Bross - Wages / Salary and Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly Gross fields.
