Super Salary Sacrifice

Hi,
I've set up an employee super salary sacrifice item and the PAYG withholding is calculating incorrectly.
The Tax Tracking Type in the Payroll Item is set to Gross Payments and the Taxes check box is also ticked for PAYG Tax.
The employee card has the Salary Sacrifice (SS) item selected, along with a rate of $100.
However when calculating the pay cheque from the time sheet the gross earnings appear to be increased by the $100 super salary sacrifice and PAYG withholding is being calculated on weekly earnings PLUS $100 rather than LESS $100.
We enter payroll through timesheets and the weekly payroll populates as a scheduled payrun. Open Paycheck Detail shows Salary Sacrifice in Other Payroll Items, and also the Company Summary appears to be collating weekly Salary Sacrifice, but this doesn't appear to be transferring to a reduction in the Employee Summary. 
Does anyone know what I have missed in the set-up?
Thanks for your help.

    Hi Lisa

     

    • Check that the Payroll Item type is correct

    It should show in the “Type” column - in your Payroll Item List - as “Super”, (which - at setup - is the “Super Contribution” option).

    I’m wondering if you may have it setup as another Type, requiring a quantity to be entered for the Item to generate! 

    Unfortunately, it’s not possible to change this once set, so if it is determined that this is the issue, you will need to set it up again (& re-add to the employee’s record)  

     

    • In the Payroll Item, in the Calculate Based on Quantity window, make sure this checkbox is NOT ticked

    (Ticking this requires a quantity to be entered on the Paycheque in order for the Item to generate!)

     

    • On the next window, the Default Rate and Limit boxes should both be blank

     

    • On the next window (the Include Payments in Contribution …) ensure you have ALL the Payroll Items selected that apply (including Leave items)

     

    • Check that the Payroll Item(s) you are using on Timesheets are the same as the ones you have selected in the previous step (Particularly if you use the “Copy hours …” preferences!)

     


    One or a combination of these should be the solution.
