Employee sponsors child - setting up in payroll

[Sandraisx]

Several of our employees have money deducted from their wages to sponsor a child - how do I set this up in Accountright abd what is the STP reporting category?

Hi @Sandraisx 

Thanks for your post. You will need to set up a Deduction payroll category by going to Payroll>>Payroll Categories>>Deductions tab.

If these deductions are classified as a Workplace Giving Program as per the ATO, the ATO reporting category would be Deduction - Workplace Giving. If you're unsure I do recommend you check with the ATO.

These help articles have more information and will guide you through the process of setting this up:

ATO website: Workplace Giving 

Deductions 

Assign ATO reporting categories 

Please let me know if you need further help.
