For Talenox Hong Kong users, the calculation of Rate of Pay (ROP) for employees will by default follow the "Proration Calculation" setting selected for the whole company.

Where Can I Set This Up?

You can head to Profiles > Company Details > Payroll Details > Proration Calculation and select from any of the options available:

  • Calendar Days

  • Working Days

NOTE: The ROP being referred to is the Rate of Pay of the pay items under the "Hourly/Daily Attendance" tab in payroll processing. Some examples of this are:

  • Regular/Overtime Hours

  • Regular/Overtime Days

  • Rest Day Pay


Formula of Rate of Pay According to Selected Settings

We calculate ROPs using formulas based on the selected proration settings seen below:

1) For "Calendar Days" proration setting selected

  • Daily rate: (12 x Basic Pay) / 365

  • Hourly rate: [(12 x Basic Pay) / 365] / working hours per day

2) For "Working Days" proration setting selected

  • Daily rate: (12 x Basic Pay) / (52 x working days per week)

  • Hourly rate: [(12 x Basic Pay) / (52 x working days per week)] / working hours per day

NOTE:

  • Working hours per day: Working hours per week / Working days per week

  • Hourly rate: Daily rate / working hours per day

  • Rest Day Pay: 2 x Daily rate

Based on the formulas above, you'll need to ensure that the following sections for each employee is keyed in accurately (under Company Details page):

  • Working Day Settings

  • Working Hour Settings

  • Proration Calculation


If you'd like to change the Proration Setting for pay items in the Attendance tab in payroll, you can adjust this according to each specific pay item selected.
