Compliance through remediation
An organisation will go through a leave remediation process to ensure that its payroll complies with legislation, the provisions of agreements, or both.
The process can reveal that compliance is lacking because certain leave types are not being managed in a way that complies with legislation or reflects the requirements of agreements. This results in the need to reconcile leave balances for affected employees.
An example is where leave is described in the New Zealand Holidays Act 2003 in days but is currently managed in hours. For more examples, check out these scenarios.
Compliance through config changes
Sometimes we need to change leave configuration because an error in setting up awards or pay elements (or both) has occurred in the Affinity system. Assumptions, misunderstandings, and a lack of clarity during requirements gathering are the usual causes, and these often happen when clients implement a new pay point.
Sometimes remediation is done on a smaller scale (single employees or groups of employees) due to incorrect configuration, and even though the scope is smaller, the process is mostly the same.
