When entering an employee is an apprentice there should be an option to put in their apprentice start date and then once this has passed a year if it could flag this up in the relevant payroll run.
| Describe the Challenge | To make it easier to see when apprentices started and easier to note when their pay may need to change due to the first year being complete. |
Due to having no start and end dates for apprentices, I have had a team member underpaid. I can't believe this idea has not been implemented considering the wider implications this has. The system should flag once the apprentice has completed their first year so you increase their hourly rate to nmw. Even my old payroll program which was rubbish had a start and end date for apprentices.
To add to this, there is no separate apprentice start date. The employment start date is not necessarily the same!
