Hi,
We currently have a client who employs two school-based trainees (both under 18). The client has confirmed with Fair Work that there will be no annual leave or sick leave for these employees. The hourly rate is $10.11, as calculated by Fair Work based on the information provided by our client. Please see the attached link for further details.

When selecting the 'employment basis' in Xero, I noticed that there are only three options: full-time, part-time, and casual. However, for our client, the two new employees should be classified as trainees, as indicated on their payslips. Since the hourly rate of $10.11 was calculated separately based on our client's description and does not correspond to the usual award rates, how should we handle this situation? Please advice on the payroll setting
Thank you
