When the EBA type "Traditional Award" is selected, by default shifts are either:

This section allows you to add additional shift types:

By default, when a shift is not Saturday, Sunday, or a Public Holiday and it starts within the day timeframe it will be assigned the Day shift type.

The Day shift type uses three different day rates;

The rate paid depends on the hourly limit for that day.

Set the 'Day ordinary hours limit' and the 'Day overtime hours limit' to customise when a different rate is paid.

By default, when a shift is not Saturday, Sunday, or a Public Holiday and it starts within the night timeframe it will be assigned the Night shift type.

The Night shift type uses three different day rates;

The rate paid depends on the hourly limit for that night.

Set the 'Night ordinary hours limit' and the 'Night overtime hours limit' to customise when a different rate is paid.

When a shift is on Saturday it will be assigned the Saturday shift type.

This is based on the day of the week and does not consider the "Week Breakdown" selection.

The Saturday shift type uses two different day rates;

The rate paid depends on the hourly limit for that day.

Set the 'Day overtime hours limit' to customise when a different rate is paid.

When a shift is on Sunday it will be assigned the Sunday shift type.

This is based on the day of the week and does not consider the "Week Breakdown" selection.

The Sunday shift type uses one day rate;

Public Holidays are defined by Traffio. You can find a list of public holidays under your depot:

Public holidays are assigned based on the state defined in the depot.

A shift is automatically assigned a Public Holiday shift when it matches a date defined in the public holiday list of the booking depot.

Currently, you must have at least the 'Public Holiday' toggle on in the "Earnings Items (Rates & Allowances)" section.

Rates used with 'Public Holiday' only

All hours in the shift will be allocated to the 'Public Holiday' rate, regardless on whether they are within the day timeframe or night timeframe.

Rates used with 'Public Holiday Ordinary' and 'Public Holiday'

Shifts will be paid

When selected, 'Early Morning' shifts will be charged the 'Day overtime' rate from the time set in 'Early Morning shift start' to the time set in 'Day start'.

Note: The 'Early Morning shift end' field is disabled because it uses the 'Day start' time.

If the shift runs beyond this timeframe, it will follow the day shift timeframe and hour limits to allocate the relevant day rate.

When 'Weekday shift' is inactive pay runs will use either day shift or night shift.

This means even if a shift starts in the Day timeframe and finishes in the Night timeframe it will still consider the whole shift as a Day. All hours will be placed in Day Ordinary, Day Overtime, and Day Extra Overtime.

If you would like to use both Day and Night payable hours then enable on 'Use Weekday shift (Split Day/Night)'. Traffio will then calculate the payroll shift type as a 'Weekday shift' instead of 'Day shift' or 'Night shift'.

If a shift starts in the day and finishes at night it will use Day Ordinary, Day Overtime and Day Extra Overtime as per the hourly limits, when the shift moves into the Night timeframe it will place the remaining hours into the Night hours, using the day hours already used for the night limits.

If a shift starts in the night and finishes at day it will use Night Ordinary, Night Overtime and Night Extra Overtime as per the hourly limits, when the shift moves into the Day timeframe it will place the remaining hours into the Day hours, using the night hours already used for the day limits.

When inactive, shifts that start in the Day timeframe and finish in the Night timeframe will use all Day rates and then skip to the Night Overtime rate (and vice versa).

If you want to use all Day and all Night rates then toggle on the 'Simple Split Setting'.

'Weekday' payroll shift types will be replaced with 'Day' or 'Night' payroll shift types if the start time is between certain hours.

A 'Double Time Override' shift will never be automatically selected.

If enabled, you can manually set the shift in the pay run to 'Double Time Override' payroll shift type.

When the 'Double Time Override' payroll shift type is selected, the entire shift hours will be in 'Day Extra Overtime'.

Note: Night payable hours are never used.

A 'Call Back' shift will never be automatically selected.

If enabled, you can manually set the shift in the pay run to 'Call Back' payroll shift type.

When the 'Call Back' payroll shift type is selected, hours will go into 'Day Overtime' until the limit is set in "Limit of 'Overtime' hours", then the remaining hours will be placed in the 'Day Extra Overtime' hours.

A callback can occur when an employee is called back to work after having already gone home for the day.

Note: Night payable hours are never used.

When enabled, shifts with the same EBA in a pay period where five consecutive nights are worked will become '5 Night' shifts.

5 Night Shifts will override the 'Night Ordinary hrs limit' and use the '5 Night Ordinary Hours'.

The first hours set in '5 Night Ordinary hours limit' will be placed in the 'Night Ordinary' hours, the remaining will be placed in the 'Night Extra Overtime'.

Shifts will be included in the 5 night calculation if the payroll shift type is a 'Night shift' or 'Weekday shift'.

Saturday, Sunday, or Public Holiday payroll shift types are counted in the 5 consecutive nights but remain their own payroll shift types.
