PAYG Not calculating correctly

Hi Rav

I have an overtime pay item created called "Travel outside normal hours" for when our employees travel. This payrun I had 2 employees receive this payment but the PAYG calculated incorrectly in that it took out too much tax. It occurs when I put in the date of the travel. If I remove the date, it calculates correctly.

I have been using this pay item for quite a while now and have not noticed the issue before.

Attached is a screen shot of a sample payrun using the item. I have also included a screen shot of the payitem set up along with the ATO's calculation.

Any idea as to why this might be happening?

    Hi @Therese R,

    The date field is used when recording pay for casual or daily workers, which may lead to incorrect tax calculations. I recommend leaving this field blank, as the pay period is already specified within the pay run.

    Best regards,

    Hi @klaura

    Thanks for this. Does that also apply to all overtime items - that we should not put any dates in that field? Only for leave items?

    Hi @Therese R,

    Yes, we can include the dates for the leave items for accurate leave tracking and reporting.

    Best regards,

    Thanks @klaura

    And what about putting dates in the field when we pay other overtime items?

    Regards
