AS a Casual or Part Time Employee will differ to a Full Time Employee, you have to Setup 3 Sections – Entitlements, Wage Types and then Employee
1. Entitlements– Part time Employees are still entitled to Holiday and Sick Pay so setup both these entitlements
NOTE: This does not have to be done for Casuals as they are not entitled to Leave - Skip to Step 3.
A) Holiday Pay
- Payroll – Category Setup – Entitlement Setup
- Enter in a description for the Entitlement (for example Part Time Holiday Entitlement)
- Select the applicable GL
- Type = Holiday Pay
- Enter the Default Hours and Amount they are entitled to. For info on what the amounts are check the ATO website.
- Make sure ‘Carry Over Year’ option is ticked
B) Sick Pay

2. Wage Type Setup – The Wage types is the Default Base Amount you will pay the Employee and you also setup the Holiday and Sick Leave Taken as Wage types so they deduct from the Base Amount (as applicable for Part-Time Employees).
A) Part Time Base Wage

3. Employee setup – Now that the above is created, you can create or edit the Employee and attach the setup as above as follows.
- Payroll – Employees – Enter Details or Search and Select Employee
- Details Tab – Enter the Pay Period – Pay type – Hourly Rate – Hours Per Week and Days Per Week with the general default amounts for the employee (and enter any other details as necessary)
- Standard Wages Tab – Search and select the Wage Types that you want to default in the Process Payroll screen and their amounts as applicable
NOTE: You do not have to add the Lines for Holiday and Sick Pay as for Casuals as they are not entitled to Leave
- Entitlements Tab-Search and Select the default Entitlements and Enter the Amounts as applicable
NOTE: You do not have to add the Lines for Holiday and Sick Pay as for Casuals as they are not entitled to Leave
- Enter details in all other Tabs as required.
When processing your normal payroll you can simply amend the details for the Casual or Part Time Employee if they worked any differing hours from their default setup or if they took any Leave,the same way you would with your Full Time Employees.
