Questions
Does this use award rates?
No. It multiplies the hours by the rate and day multipliers you type in. Award rates, penalties, allowances, superannuation and tax are not worked out here.
What should I put as a Saturday multiplier?
Whatever that day actually costs you, such as 1.25 for a 125 percent rate. If you are not sure what applies, check the award or agreement, or ask whoever runs your payroll.
Is this what the employee will be paid?
No. It is a planning figure from your own inputs. Pay is worked out in your payroll system.
