Electrical payroll questions

Are apprentice year progressions automatic?

Yes, tied to the apprenticeship start date so rates step up on time.

Is the tool allowance treated as all-purpose?

Yes, so it flows through overtime, penalties and super correctly.

Can hours split across service and project work?

Yes, per cost code, so service calls and contract work report separately.

Do you support licence and ticket tracking?

Classifications are mapped to licences and maintained as they are renewed.
