The work schedule will only show as an option for staff connected to this pay schedule and where their ordinary hours match the total hours defined in the 'Day x ordinary' fields. If the pay schedule is weekly, 7 days worth of 'Day x ordinary' hours need to be defined. If the pay schedule is fortnightly or monthly, 14 days worth of 'Day x ordinary' need to be defined. |
