Good to know...

• Where an employee is set to a Monthly paid pay schedule the following calculation needs to occur to accurately calculate the rate of accrual each period

  Hours Per Week (Total Hours Worked) * Weeks Paid (on Working Pattern) / 12

• If an employee is on a working pattern of 40 hours per week and has working weeks of 52.1428 the sum should be
  40 * 52.1428 / 12 = 173.80 Per Period

• All other working patterns are unaffected by this as they are straight multiples.
