The purpose of the 'Leave Pay Rates' setting is to configure the applicable calculation method to be applied in a pay run for daily based and weekly based leave specific to that employee. To do this, go to the employee's file > Pay Rates screen, then under 'Leave Pay Rates', select the appropriate calculation method.
The default settings for each employee is set to 'Relevant daily pay' (RDP) and ordinary weekly pay 'OWP agreed rate'.
RDP/ADP calculation method for daily based leave
Relevant daily pay (RDP) or average daily pay (ADP) calculation method is used for the purpose of calculating daily based leave such as Bereavement leave, Alternative leave, Public holidays, Domestic & Violence leave and Sick leave.
Relevant daily pay (RDP)
RDP means the amount of pay that the employee, employed on a regular working pattern, would have received had the employee worked on the day.
You must use RDP unless the employee’s daily pay varies in the pay period or it is not possible or practicable to determine RDP. In these 2 situations only, you may (but don’t have to) use ADP.
Average daily pay (ADP)
ADP is used if it is not possible or practicable to determine an employee’s relevant daily pay or the employee’s daily pay varies within the pay period when the holiday or leave falls.
