10.1 Flexitime/Toil
Ready Pay can cater for Flexitime/Time off in Lieu (TOIL).
There are 2 Leave Non Accrual Pay Items as a standard in Ready Pay.
- LFL – Flexitime: Used to store any hours that have accrued for Flexitime or TOIL.
- LFP – Flexitime Paid: used to pay the Flexitime or TOIL when taken by the employee.
This guide will help you understand and use Flexitime/TOIL if required.
If your organisation prefers the description of the two pay items to refer to TOIL, please advise the Support team and they will be able to rename Flexitime to TOIL.
