Do you need to set up a Salary Sacrifice Payroll Item for each individual employee as it asks you who the liability gets paid to and each employee has a different super fund? I have filled out all details under employee payroll. If i leave that option blank in set up so it is generic for all employees and I go to pay Custom Liabilities, the Salary Sacrifice comes up under payroll item but when it says payable to that column is blank. I get a box saying "Payroll Item has no Liability Agency, do you wish to enter one". What do i do……leave it blank???

    I create ONE Super Payroll Item in my Payroll Item List, per FUND, per TYPE :

    eg

    • AustSuper
    • AustSuper (SS)
    • REST
    • HESTA
    • AMP
    • AMP (EA)

    … & set them ALL to be paid to the applicable clearing house Supplier (eg "QuickSuper")

    This then creates just the ONE Liability Cheque when entering payment (as per your single payment to your clearing house) rather than a separate Liability Chq for each Fund 😊

    (NOTE: The above only works if you are NOT using Super Data Export as that process specifically requires the relevant fund name for EACH because the payments are being electronically uploaded !)

    So, …..let me understand this, do you mean you create the Super Contribution Name on the very first page when setting us as say "Salary Sacrifice IOOF", then in the spot where it asks for a Name of Agency is that where you put say "Quicksuper"?

    If possible could you provide screenshots of each set up page? Sorry to be a pain.

    Yes, that's exactly right 😊 :

    The Payable To selection field is a dropdown of your Supplier List … I have QuickSuper set up as a Supplier :

    Here's the single Liability Cheque for the Oct-Dec 24 quarter's super:
