A company may have employees that work a different number of standard hours determined by the industry within which they work. For example, there may be one group of employees that come under the National Employment Council for the Motor Industry even though the main body of employees work under another NEC. Specific conditions may apply to one industry and not the other.
Setting the employee to an industry and noting the conditions that apply ensures that the correct standard hours, leave, and overtime parameters will be correctly applied in accordance with the industry that the employee works under. For more information about setting up Industries.
Examples are shown in the table below. To set up the different type of Industry:
•Go to the 'Edit', 'Organizational' and then 'Industries' menu options
•Press 'Insert' to add a new industry
The different working conditions are then applied to each individual in the payroll that has working conditions that differ from that which is set up in the Period Table. To do this:
•Go to the 'Edit' and then 'Employee Master' menu options
•Select the employee that you would apply special working conditions to
•Select the 'Works' tab
•Use the dropdown menu against 'Industry' and select the industry type required.
