An "Additional" payroll item was incorrectly established causing the payments to be subject to the Super guarantee. Is it possible to process a negative Superannuation adjustment?
if you correct the error and go back and edit the pay that was wrong it will adjust the super amount.
Yes, thank you, but several pays are incorrect dating back to March. I was hoping I could fix by a YTD adjustment but it looks like I will have to go back and edit every individual pay.
no I’m not aware of any kind of adjustment that can be made. I do know you are unable to process a negative pay though. I will try a couple of things right now though
unfortunately I could t find a way to do it, maybe someone else might have an answer
Hi @Robert Roberts
Have you already paid these incorrect amounts ?
@Kris_Williams is correct in that it's not possible to change a Super Payroll Item amount to a negative, due to its type.
Personally, I would be correcting the original Paycheques so that everything calculates & reports correctly each pay. However, if you can identify the total amount incorrectly calculated, you could possibly manually edit the Super amount(s) to reduce the total by the excess … or you might be able to create a Deduction Payroll Item configured to reduce the Super calculation. (Actually, if it was an Addition, depending on ho you've configured it, you may be able to add it as a negative value onto a current Paycheque, so it reduces the Super that way ?)
Having said that, I would be wary of reducing the correct Super amount on a current Paycheque - Due to STP & data matching - although you have a legitimate reason - it may get automatically flagged if it falls short of the minimum 12% calculation 😬
