WORKING ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY
Hi Team,
I have a couple of employees that worked on the public holiday and I was wondering how best to set them up in pay items category.
I have added a 2.5 base rate pay item under normal hours but is this doesn't seem right. I think I should create a 2.5 base rate Public Holiday worked pay item.
Thank you.

Hi Jason.
That's what I was thinking and just amended my message to reflect this. Would it be classed as overtime pay item or OTE?
Thank you.

Hi Jason,
Sorry I just need to know one more thing. Is it OTE or Overtime pay item?
Thank you.

Hi @JEN
I'm not an accountant so I'm not 100% sure, but here's a general breakdown that might help:
- Ordinary time earnings (OTE): Amounts paid to employees for their ordinary hours of work that are used to calculate the employers super guarantee contribution.
- Overtime: Amounts paid to employees for hours worked over and above their ordinary hours of work.
Since it's not over their standard hours, I don’t think it would be considered overtime.
Hope that helps!

Hi Jason,
They actually worked over the OTE so part of their pay would be classed as overtime .
Thank you so much for your help and I will have to work out how to split their pay.

Hi Team,
I have just noticed that one of the two employees tax didn't calculate properly. They were undertaxed for some reason.
This employee does pay salary sacrifice and I am not sure if this has anything to do with it? I had to manually change the tax according to what the ATO tax table calculation is.
Could someone please get back to me about this.
Thank you.
