b) Typical Pay Basis

c) Typical Pay Method

d) Typical Leave Year Starts

e) Typical Annual Leave Entitlement Method

f) Typical Annual Leave Days in Year

g) Typical Working Days

 
 

Works Numbers
- tick if you would like the software to automatically generate works numbers using your own custom settings, which can set up here.
