If the salary calculation is displaying an incorrect (AWE) amount for maternity pay, this is because the average weekly earning pay days are not being set correctly.
For weekly, fortnightly, and four-weekly payrolls, the system uses the Day In Week field from the Weekly Pay Day section.
To check the average weekly earning pay days, follow the steps below in Portal.
📌Note: If you use Portal, follow these steps.
Click CorePay then click Reference.
Click Maintain Statutory Pay Parameters then click Average Pay / Pay Days.
Click Maintain SSP/SMP Pay Days for Pay Group.
Check that the monthly pay day is set to the actual pay day within the month, rather than the last day of the month.
