You asked, we answered. Half Day Leave Requests have been rolled out into the PayrollHero Leave Management add on.

Now you can enable the half day leave request in your settings so that employees can use 50% of a sick day. Perfect for doctors appointments or personal time when employees need it.

Applying for a half day leave is the same as applying for a regular leave except the half day leave option is only available for 1 day leave requests. If the start and end date of the leave request do not match then you will not be able to apply for half day leave. The only difference is that you will need to choose if you want to take the first half of the day or the second half of the day off.

New: Per Shift Overtime

Posted on by

per-shift-overtimeWe have rolled out a new feature that will come in very handy for our BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) clients – per shift overtime.

Our overtime system will automatically calculate the amount of hours OT an employee has rendered based on your company overtime rules. Your employees can just clock in and out via one of your clocking devices and when it comes time to generate payroll overtime, ND etc. are all calculated automatically.

However, many of our BPO clients operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They have multiple agents serving clients that are in multiple timezones. We decided that their unique setup required a unique overtime rule.

Today, we rolled out support for per shift overtime as part of our larger automated overtime calculation tool.

This means for employees that work a shift that runs past midnight and start their next shift that same day can be paid for any overtime occurred based on the shift hours, not the total hours within the calendar day.

For example:

Here is how you can see the difference between per shift overtime and per day overtime, both of which are possible in PayrollHero’s Philippine payroll platform.

PayrollHero’s purpose built BPO payroll platform is perfect for your operation. We have quite a few specific tools just for the BPO industry. Here are a few more examples of how PayrollHero can help BPOs;

  • Employees who follow another countries holidays instead of Philippine holidays
  • Employees who have shifts overnight and how night time differential effects it
  • Employees who have shifts overnight and one of the days is a holiday

Singapore Payroll Management

Successful payroll management in Singapore requires proper systems and procedures to ensure accuracy and timeliness. Employees expect to be paid accurately and on time each and every pay period.

The main component to accurate payroll is accurate time and attendance. If the data going in for payroll computation is not accurate then the payroll calculations will not be accurate.

Singapore Payroll Management

What constitutes a complete payroll management system

  1. Accurate time and attendance collection
  2. Up to date HRIS (Human Resources Information System)
  3. Accurate payroll software with up to date tax code data
  4. Online, accurate vacation leave management
  5. Detailed payslips
  6. Bank files and Government reports

What constitutes salary

According to the Employment Act of Singapore salary refers to remuneration, including allowances, paid for work done under a contract of service.

It does not include:

  • The value of accommodation, utilities or other amenities.
  • Pension or provident fund contribution paid by the employer.
  • Travelling allowance.
  • Payments for expenses incurred during work.
  • Gratuity payable on discharge or retirement.
  • Retrenchment benefits.

Remember, Singapore does not have a minimum wage. Your salary is subject to negotiation and agreement between your employer and you or your trade union.
