leave application does not calculate correct no of hrs
In the leave applications, the system calculates the number of hours per day based on the monthly hours set up in the pay template, divided by the number of business days in that month. As a result, payroll staff must manually adjust each leave application to reflect the correct hours.
For example, if an employee is full-time working 7.6 hours per day, with 164.667 hours per month, and the month has 22 business days, the system generates 7.4848 hours per day in the leave application. Manually correcting this for a large number of employees becomes very time-consuming.
If the pay template included a field to specify the daily hours worked — and this value flowed through to the leave applications — it would significantly improve the system and save payroll staff a great deal of time.
