Assigned reporting category to Super pay item

In a client's file there is a pay item setup - Super guarantee 0%.  It was used for employees under 18 for who super did not need to be paid until they reach 30 hours in a week.  When it was setup it was not assigned to a reporting category (this is a few years ago) and now it is causing a warning when they create a payrun.  However, we are not able to choose the reporting category - the field is greyed out.

 

In the last financial year there was one current employee who had this super pay item on their pay template.  This has now been corrected.

 

All other employees who were allocated to this category no longer work for the client so we have taken them all off the pay item.  But we are still receiving the warning.

 

I know that they can click to ignore the warning but I wondered if anyone has any ideas on how this can be permanently fixed.  Should we just delete the pay item?  Will we even be able to do this if it has been used on payruns in the past?

    Hi MelDel82,

     

    No need to worry about deleting that Super Guarantee 0% pay item. Once it’s been used or linked to an employee in past pay runs, it can’t be deleted. The warning you’re seeing comes from not having an ATO reporting category assigned, and we get why it’s frustrating that the field’s greyed out. The good news is, a script can be run to sort out the reporting category issue and stop those warnings from popping up. Make sure to reach out to our team via on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA.

     

    Cheers,
