Hi CCGOffice,
Yeah, setting up 40 separate pay items would be a pain; the good news is you don’t need to.
For STP Phase 2, you just need one pay item per type (for example, Base Hourly, Task allowance, Leave loading), and then you set the different rates per employee on their Standard Pay or directly in each pay.
So in your case:
- Task allowance = 1 wage category, ATO reporting category Allowance – tasks
- Leave loading = 1 wage category (e.g., Annual Leave Loading) using Regular rate × 0.175 (or whatever % applies)
Everyone’s different rate is handled in their pay, not by creating separate pay items for each employee.
