The effective date is the date the salary change will sync to payroll. Please note the below: 

Employment Hero Payroll

• Today or a past date will sync as of today’s date. The past date will be stored in HR; however, the salary will change in Payroll as of today’s date so any necessary back payments will need to be calculated. 
• A future date will sync and be applied in payroll as of the future date

Xero

• If today or a past date is entered in HR, there is an option to sync that to Xero
• If a future date is added, it will not sync to payroll but trigger an email to payroll admin to manually add that to Xero

When filling in salary details for employees in HR platforms connected to EH Payroll classic, selecting the industrial instrument and classification automatically populates the award rate based on the given payroll settings. For casual employees, the populated pay rate includes casual loading, which is automatically applied in Payroll. If the user doesn’t override the pay rate and enter the hourly rate excluding casual loading in HR, syncing to Payroll will apply the loading appropriately.

Employment Hero bases the first and second working week on an employee's start date, i.e. if an employee's start date is the 1st of January, the week of the 1st January to the 7th January will be their first working week. Then from the 8th January to the 15th of January will be their second working week.

Please note that Custom Work Hours are only compatible with the Employment Hero Payroll classic platform. Please click this link for more information.
