National Minimum Wage Increases

How does Fourth support businesses forecasting the wage impact with the NMW increase in April.

From what we understand if we programme the pay increase in March through batch update and add a rota for week 1 of April, we still won't see the actual wage cost until after April 1st. 

Is there another way for us to input the pay change so we can see the impact prior to the increase?

  Hello,
  
  Thank you for your post.
  
  I can confirm that at present batch updates including the National Minimum Living Wage Rate Update functionality will only update the rota wage cost once the effective date of the change has been reached.
  
  For example, if an effective date of 01/04 is present, this is the date on which the wage cost would update.
  
  It is possible to manually update rates via the employment details page which will then update in advance of the change, however I appreciate this is time-consuming compared to the batch update.
  
  If you would like to see this functionality adjusted, I would advise raising an ideas request for this.
