Fringe Benefits on payslips

DebA

Hi

We are a NFP & pay a few employees fringe benefits as part of their pays up the the standard capped amount allowed.

While the amounts showing in our payroll reports appear to be correct, the totals on the payslips for 'Total Pay" and YTD don't seem right. The tax & net pay figures are right.

for example (not actual figures)

$900 Actual Gross pay

$600 Fringe benefits

$300 cash pay to account

$0.00 no tax

But the totals in footer of the payslip seem wrong. Total pay figure is $1,500.00 which the gross + FB amount ($900 +$600). Logically thinking, I think the Total pay figure for each pay should just be the $900. Does that seem right?

Question:

Is my thinking right in the above example? ie. the Total Pay figure should be $900, not $1500. If so, how do we fix this in Reckon so it's correct on the payslip? Is there something we have to tick/untick with the payslip set up? I've looked in lists./items/payroll & the Items/templates/payslip & the payroll centre sections. Suffice to say, I haven't figure it out.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Debbie

Which specific Payslip template are you using ? It sounds like you're referring to either the custom (editable) Payslip or the 2-per-page one as these 2 are the only ones that have this "Total Pay" label. Have a look at the pay breakdown in one of the others - The single-page, 2-per-page & the 3 per-page ones should all show the RFB as a separate total but the Custom one doesn't.

To check your RFB Payroll Item is correctly configured, generate the (old) Payment Summary. This will show you where the totals report for STP.

Hi Shaz

We are using Reckon Hosted accounts & are using the Reckon Standard Pay Slip & just add our logo etc to this. There is only one Pay Slip version to use so that's the one we're using.

Cheers

Hi Debbie

That's the custom one then (Reckon Standard Pay Slip) - This one's in your Templates List as you are able to add a logo to it.

The default (<Standard ...>) 1/2/3-per page ones however - as highlighted below - are unable to be edited at all (so these are not in the Template List for customising)

You can view the different Payslip template format options from the File dropdown menu (Print Forms > Payslips):
