Here is sample window after few entries made


On the right side of the window there are some options for you to check if,

• this is your RDO (Rostered Day Off) or
• this is a public holiday or
• were ill so couldn't perform your duties and provided a doctor certificate or
• on annual leave (last two options included, just in case you have to work on your holiday..!)

The last option Commenced is dimmed (disabled), and it will be highlighted (enabled) to check or uncheck depending on the above options.

e.g. If you worked on your RDO, check the RDO box and check the Commenced box, if you do not perform these checks, Personal Pay Advice 1.0 might perform wrong calculation on the day's income.
