Important Changes to Christmas Payroll Deadlines (H Pay)

To ensure all employees are paid on the normal pay day for the fortnight ending Sunday 26 December, some changes have been implemented for this pay period. 

Sign off change 

For this pay period, the sign off has changed from Monday 27 December to 3pm Thursday 23 December.  

System changed to pay from Schedule  

For this pay period, the system will be paid from Schedule from Thursday 23 December to Sunday 26 December. For managers, it is important that the schedule for all employees is correct for these days to avoid any under or over payments. 

How will this change affect me? 

For all employees, review and approve your timecard before the 3pm sign off on Thursday 23 December. 

For all managers, prior to 3pm on Thursday 23 December, the following tasks need to be completed to ensure all employees are paid correctly:  

  • All leave requests must be approved in Kronos. 
  • Check employee schedules to ensure all shifts from Thursday 23 December to Sunday 26 December 2021 are entered and correct. 
  • If your employees work on 25 and 26 December and your Award states this is a Public Holiday, they will receive Public Holiday penalties.  

What do I do if there are changes to shifts I worked after the 3pm 23 December sign off? 

As sign off will be ahead of actual shifts worked all adjustments will be processed in the next pay run except in cases of financial hardship where an offline payment may be processed.

Public Holiday Rostered Off penalties 

Public Holiday Rostered Off penalties will be reconciled in the following fortnight payroll.
