Two Payroll Profiles

[Carmen4]

I have a staff member that requires two payroll profiles.    In one they are permanent part time for 45 hours per fortnight Monday to Friday and in the other they need to be casual Monday to Sunday and use timesheets all in the same fortnight and at different pay rates.

How can I set up two profiles?  so that I do not have to manipulate their pay.

Hi @Carmen4,

Thanks for your post.

My apologies for the late response. Creating payroll profiles for one employee will lead to duplicate employees being detected when submitting the report to STP through MYOB. In this matter, if you need to pay people different rates, I would just recommend setting up a payroll category to reflect this (for example, overtime at 1.5 times the normal rate). I am linking you to a helpful article that shows you how to do this: payroll categories.

So you create the new pay item, and you link the new rate to the same employee. You now have the original pay rate and the new pay rate. I would also suggest seeking assistance from your payroll specialist and accountant throughout the process.

I hope this helps. Feel free to start a new post if you have any other queries. You may also reach out using our online help MOCA to ask questions anytime you need help.

Otherwise, if my response has been useful, I kindly ask that you click the "Accept As Solution" button to help others find this information.
