Superannuation calculations

Hi, 

 

A while back there was an an error in entering holiday pay as unused holiday pay. I followed steps to correct the used leave from unused holiday pay to holiday pay (from what I could gather from MYOB online I did an adjustment - where I entered the negative hours to the unused holiday pay and the positive hours to the holiday pay so they would void out and there would be no payment. 

 

HOWEVER, MYOB, when this adjustmant was recorded - it also recorded the super in this adjustment. I've checked and super was paid on the error payroll so now I'm paying super for this employees holiday twice. 

 

The adjustment was a void adjustment, it equalled 0 and no payment was made. Why is MYOB calculating the super on this? How can I ensure that the super payment is going to be the super guarantee for the wages paid?

 

MYOB can you help?

  • Hi FAM_CP 

     

    Thanks for your post. When processing an adjustment pay to transfer hours from one payroll category to another you do need to ensure all other amounts and hours are zeroed out, including super and leave accrual. As you have entered a positive number of hours against the holiday pay category super would be calculated on that gross amount.

     

    To resolve your issue you can either delete/reverse the adjustment pay and reprocess, making sure all other hours and amounts are zeroed out. Or you can process an adjustment pay for the incorrect super: Checking and adjusting super

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

    Hi

    If the super was paid on the unused holiday pay - was it done manually ?

     

    If not manually then the unused holiday pay must have calculated the super at the time and when the adjustment was done it should have cancelled each other out. Unless you corrected the unused holiday pay item prior to the fix.

     

    If it was done manually and therefore already been paid then don't pay it this time manually.

     

    If it was automatic and wasn't cancelled out on the pay run then I would delete that pay adjustment and redo manually changing the super to zero if you can - or you may need to change the unused holiday back to include super and redo 

    Hope this helps
