Super calculated wrong on the wages report for the month

Hi Mel,

Have you corrected the setup of that custom item to now calculate super?

If not, you can edit its setup and tick the option for it to calculate super guarantee and/or salary sacrifice. See screenshot example to the left.

In regard to the existing pay runs that have already been created without super, you'll need to edit those pay runs and remove that custom item from it. Once that is done, you can either re-add the same earning item that you've now edited to calculate super or use a different earning item eg. the default ordinary earning item for example and it will then calculate super.

Once you've saved the pay run you'll need to send an adjustment to the ATO as an STP submission.

I'll link a full walkthrough video on how to edit existing pay runs and sending an adjustment below

Hi Mel,

You can change the custom earning item to include super calculations by editing it. Check out my screenshot in my previous reply above.

To edit an earnings item go to Settings ➡ Earnings items ➡ Select your custom earning item from the list ➡ Edit ➡ Tick the "Include in super guarantee calculation" and "Include in salary sacrifice for super calculation" options ➡ SAVE.

In regard to your pay runs that you've switched to draft status, after you've edited your custom item to now include super you'll need to correct/edit those pay runs. (Ensure that you've edited the earning item from the steps above first). Since they're now in draft status and from you've told me so far, all you need to do is remove the existing earning item from that pay run and then re-adding it so that super calculates in the pay run.

I've put together a screen recording below which might make it easier to understand, however its just a basic example so please use your discretion for your own requirements.
