Payroll Processing: The OOB method fails to capture the 29 days in February during leap years.

The system is currently using a February calculator based on 28 days, resulting in incorrect calculations for salaries in incomplete months.

This problem arises from the leap year, where February contains 29 days. However, our system mistakenly treats it as having only 28 days. Fortunately, there is a workaround available to address this issue.
​
Example Scenario:

  • Employee resigned on 20/02/2024.

  • Employee's salary RM 3,000

  • Days Worked (17 Days) - Basic Rate RM 1758.62.

  1. Go to Normal Pay.

  2. Key in the accurate Basic Rate.

  3. Key In the Working Days and Days Worked (DW) and exclude the Out-of-Bound (OOB).

Note: Adjust the basic rate accordingly, and input the Days Worked (DW) and Working Days (WD) after excluding Out-of-Bound (OOB) days. There's no requirement to input NPL and OOB days.
