How to pro-rate fixed monthly allowances for staff taking No Pay Leave (NPL) / Unpaid leave ?

Symptoms:
Fixed monthly allowances are not pro-rated accordingly when staff took no pay leave (NPL) / unpaid leave in the month.

Possible cause(s):

    1. Go to Payroll > Payroll Management > Pay Element > Select “No Pay Leave (NPL)/Unpaid Leave” > under Element Calculation, select the Calculation as “Daily (Grosspay)”.
  2. Ensure the fixed monthly allowances are ticked as “Is Gross Pay Rate”.
    1. Go to Payroll > Payroll Management > Pay Element > Select the fixed monthly allowances involved > under Element Calculation, tick the box for “Is Gross Pay Rate”
