STP2 Task Allowance

Hi Kate69 

Thanks for your post. If allowances and loadings are paid separately using their own payroll category the amounts are added to the gross wages amount when processing the payrun. So if an allowance has previously been included in the Base hourly rate you would need to adjust the Base hourly rate accordingly.

The option to Override employees wage expense account relates to how the amount is reported in the financial reports. If you don't select that option, amounts paid to that payroll category are reported to the Wages & Salaries expense account. If you wanted to report a particular payment type separately you could create a specific expense account for the payment. For example, if you want to see the total allowances paid in the P&L report you could create an allowances expense account and select that account.

If Automatically adjust base hourly or base salary details is selected regular pay hours and amounts are adjusted accordingly. Typically this is ticked for leave payroll categories so that when leave hours are entered in a payrun the Base Hourly hours are reduced by the leave hours.

Please let me know if you need further help.
