Holiday settings in Sage Payroll, please help me

Hi All,

 

I'm just about to take the payroll exam and I'm doing a mock paper.

 

I have entered the employee's personal informations to the system, but I don't get the same holiday entitlement as it is in the answer and I have no idea why....

Can anyone help me about this, please?

The mock says:

All staff are entitled to 28 days holiday per calendar year including statutory days, plus an additional day for every 2 years they have been in employment with Able Architects at 1st January. This mock is for 2014/2015.

The start day of employments:

G.Michael 11/07/11, H. Nissa 12/09/11, I Owen 13/02/12, J. Petrov 14/05/12, K. Qarg 15/11/12, L Rupee 16/09/13, M. Stifeln 17/02/14, N Trupin 18/03/14

The anwers are:

G.Michael 29 days, H. Nissa 29 days, I Owen 28 days, J. Petrov 28 days, K. Qarg 28 days, L Rupee 28 days, M.Stifeln 25 days, N. Trupin 22 days.

It doesn't say when the holiday year start exactly. If I set as it starts 06/04/2014, I Owen has 29 days and M. Stifeln and N. Trupin has 28-28 days. It is not right.

If the holiday year starts at 01/01/2014, I Owen has 28 days. So it is OK. But M Stifeln has 24.5 days (should be 25), N. Trupin has 22.5 (should be 22) days. This is the closest one what I got......

My settings are:

Scheme type: Specified entitlement

Entitlement of 28 days

Accrue holiday: daily,

Include national holidays in entitlement

Scheme start date: Company holiday year (01/01/2014)

Additional holiday entitlement: service period: 24, additional: 1.00

No fund.

 

I hope someone can help me.

 

Thank you.

Hi Orsi,

 

You are right in all your settings.  I also computed manually the annual leave entitlement and in my opinion all your the suggested answers were correct.  Since your settings were correct, I don't see any problem if there's a small discrepancies as against the suggested answers.  We cannot alter the given answer in the system that we are using.

Right now I am using Instant Payroll 2013 - 2014 for Mock test and as you can see I am also experiencing difficulty with the suggested answer regarding national insurance for director. 

Hope this is a little bit of help.

Hi Jayrissa,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I hope ICB thinks the same.

Would you mind swapping mock exam? I would like to try the settings with an other mock.

My email address: barczaorsi@gmail.com I'll email mine to you.

 

I hope you'll find the answer for your problem.

Hello Orsi,

Could it be that your 'daily' setting for accrued holidays should be 'monthly'?

 

I'm  taking  a  guess  since its not in front of me right now....

 

Would it be possible to forward me a copy of the mock exam? Im currently studing the ICB payroll management level 3 Diploma.

 

It would  be most appreciated !

 

Thanks, Vic.

HI Vic,

Thank you for your advise. If I set it as monthly accrue M Stifeln will have 23.5 (not 25) days, N Trupin 21 (not 22) days. So I got closer with the daily setting.

:(
