These details include the first name, last name, job title, email, employment start date, employment type (full-time, part-time or casual), weekly work hours, leave loading (for part-time and full-time workers), casual loading (for casuals), and the pay rate.


If you employ casuals, you will need to enter weekly work hours still but don’t worry because you’re able to edit these in each of the pay runs.
