So I have just discovered that I have been paying an employee duplicate superannuation each pay run!
For accounting purposes we have created a separate payroll liability account for each superannuation fund.
When a new employee card is created we check the correct box associated with their chosen super fund.
Recently however, I have discovered that two boxes were accidentally checked for a new employee, resulting in the employee being 'duplicate paid' their super! I have reversed this now and unchecked the incorrect box, however this never would have been picked up if the employee was not honest and didn't come forward.
I was wondering if it would be possible to insert an alert of some kind if two super funds are accidentally checked for the same employee ?
"Duplicate super via pay run"
