Lets take a look at some of the new Employment Hero Payroll features announced in Febuary 2023
Previously, users could only enter breaks that were either categorised as paid or unpaid and not a combination of the two.
Due to compliance and auditing purposes, businesses need to record both. When an employee record's a break in their timesheets, the break duration is automatically deducted from paid hours unless the business has created a rule to pay employees for all breaks. By enabling the paid break feature, employees will be able to record both paid and unpaid breaks in timesheets and ensure they are paid accordingly.
This new feature will be made available to:
This feature is not automatically switched on for eligible businesses. Rather, users will need to select the new setting "Enable employees to include both paid and unpaid breaks in their timesheet" which is available in the Payroll Settings > Timesheets screen.
This will add security enhancements to alert the end user of potential malicious breaches or incorrect updates to their account. Once these security enhancements are released, users will be required to verify changes to their account email addresses.
This new process will be triggered whenever a user updates an existing users' email address. This email change will need to be verified by following an emailed link within 72 hours.
Employment Hero Payroll are releasing a new non-reportable employer contribution type. Currently, any amounts associated with an employer contribution are classified as reportable by default.
This new contribution type allows users to distinguish between reportable and non-reportable employer contributions and will ensure contributions are reported accordingly with the ATO.
