Salary Sacrifice - Different amounts

We have a number of  employees who salary sacrifice pre tax either an agreed $ amount for benefits or additional superannuation. For the pre tax benefits amount the only way to set up a new employee's request is to create a new payroll category otherwise it "takes" the last figure which was set up. The same for Super. An example - super

 

Using Salary Sacrifice Superannuation/ Standard Pay/ Calculation Basis equals $00000 dollars per Period

 

Employee 1 - set up with $600 entered

Employee 2 - set up with $750 entered 

Employee 3 - set up with $2000 entered

 

all are now defaulting to $2000 and luckily I picked it up before finalising the payroll

 

Benefits - Salary sacrifice pre tax

My predecessor has create ed a separate payroll categories for each employee's salary sacrifice, eg Salary Packaging Ded - Emp #1, #2 ## etc...for all 14 employees currently using the system and the 35 ex employees who used it

 

Calculation basis - equals different rate....per pay period

 

Is there a better way of doing both of these as I don't want to incorrectly "over" sacrifice someone's superannuation and have to remember to change the benefits category name to ZZ....Ex Employee every time someone leaves

    Hi wkswhc

     

    In the employee card/contact, there's an option called "standard pay" that lets you edit the autofilled information when you create a pay run. Editing each employee's standard pay for super should do the trick. You can read more about this in the link

     

    Thanks,

    • Can you explain why i can't change the amount under standard pay for salary sacrifice? Have i missed a step somewhere it still says <calcutaled>

        Hi Rospo1593,

         

        The calculation basis for your salary sacrifice should be set to "User - Entered Amount per Pay Period" as advised in your other post here. Since you've mentioned that it's already set up correctly, but you still can't enter the amount in the standard pay window, it’s best to reach out to our support directly for further assistance. You can reach them on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via MyAccount.

         

         

        Regards,
