Piece rate
Can you create an "Earnings Item" so that it appears in units other than hours?
The first payslip needs to show $90 per unit x 11 units = $990 gross pay
(31.5 hrs work - Average $31.42857 per hr)
The second payslip needs to show $90 per unit x 10 units = $900 gross pay
(29.25 hrs work - Average $30.76923 per hr)
The gross pay is NOT calculated based on hours.

Hi @NP1
Sorry, I just flicked you a reply on a separate thread before seeing your own post here. Regardless though, as I mentioned in the other thread check out whether creating a 'Variable' type earnings item will do what you need. It allows you to designate an 'other unit' for basis of the pay rate.

I'm going to copy over the response I made in the other thread to here so everything is in one place in terms of this thread -
An option you could look at doing is creating your own custom earnings item, in particular a 'Variable' earning item.
This item type allows you to select 'other unit' as the basis of the pay rate eg. you could use it for number of sheep for example. I'll add a couple of example screenshots below, the first is how I setup my variable earning item and the second is how it looks when used in a pay run.
If you do create a custom earnings item, ensure that you set it up correctly for tax and super. Tax applicable MUST be ticked in order for it to not only generate tax but also be reported as part of STP. (Tax can be overriden within the individual pay run if required).
The below is the resulting pay slip from the pay run above and how the earnings are displayed when this particular earnings item is used -

Thankyou for your help. I saw your solution on the other thread after posting this, and I couldn't find a way to delete this one.

Why does the Super Guarantee show as $0.
I have gone into Super Guarantee and it shows the correct rate (10% for 2022 year).

Please Ignore the last comment as I found the answer.

When you created the item, did you tick the option for super to be calculated on it?
These need to be selected in order for super to calculate when the item is used in a pay run for earnings.
