Service Periods and Mixed Employment
Handle rehires, breaks in service and employees with more than one income nature.
Why service periods matter
Leave accrual, severance calculations, ETI months and IRP5 periods of employment all depend on accurate start and end dates.
Rehires and breaks in service
Rather than editing the original start date, add a new employment period. The employee then receives the correct number of IRP5 certificates and leave restarts appropriately.
Mixed income natures
Some employees earn both salaried income and, for example, commission or contract income under a different source code. Capture each income nature separately so PAYE is applied on the right basis and the IRP5 reflects the correct codes.
Government-funded periods
Where part of a period is funded by an external body such as a provincial department, tag the period so pension and reporting splits are calculated per funder.
