In line with BCEA requirements, SimplePay automatically calculates this amount when leave is recorded for employees who have fluctuating income. It is based on the employee’s fluctuating leave rate, which can be found on their Record Leave screen. The fluctuating rate is calculated using the income of the previous three months, or a shorter period if they have only been employed for less than three months.
