⚠️Company directors upgraded part way through the year: The director will receive the full allowance again unless a setting is changed in TELUS Farm Payroll. This must be done before the first payroll. Find out more.
⚠️My ePay Window: To avoid creating a duplicate My ePay Window account and before you publish. The support team will have to configure your account to accept a connection from TELUS Farm Payroll. Contact the migrations team at farmplansupport@telusagcg.com to start the process. This should be at least 7 working days before you publish using My ePay Window.
⚠️Pension Year to dates: These will need to be added to the employee pension in the employee record. Employee record > Pension > Click edit pension > Pension YTDs > Edit Opening Balances.
⚠️Average holiday calculation: The upgrade tool brings across the cumulative values, this is not enough to calculate the average holiday rate. In order for the system to do this you will need to add in pay history.
This check is for the other statutory payments (SMP/SPP/ShPP/SAP/SPBP)
How to check
In TELUS Farm Payroll, select the Employer Name in the top right-hand corner and select Settings | Pay Schedules
We recommend that if you are currently paying an employee Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP), Shared Parental Pay (ShPP), Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP), or Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay (SPBP) in IRIS Earnie , check the details in the relevant Employee | Leave screen to ensure all fields are populated accordingly.
Click on the Employees menu and select an employee in the list to open the employee details, then select the Leave tab to view the Statutory Payments.
How to make changes
The amount of the Statutory Payment shown may be incorrect if you have already paid some of it in Earnie, you will need to adjust the amount of the Statutory Payment the next time you process payroll.
Pick the relevant employee in the list displayed on the Payroll | Payslips screen to view a summary of their current payroll; select the Statutory Payment row and tick the Override the calculated value box to alter the amount displayed in the New Value field.
⚠️If you amend the Statutory Payment amount, you will need to ensure that you enter the correct value each pay period to ensure that the employee’s payment is accurate.
❗We strongly recommend that you parallel run TELUS Farm Payroll with Earnie for at least one payroll period after the upgrade. If this is not possible, check the first period’s figures thoroughly.
Next: Input Holiday details.
