Payroll set up

[Sandraisx]

I have set up Living Away allowance and Meal allowance in Accountright - these amounts are included in Gross Wages figure on Payroll Register (Summary) report.

I note from the previous payroll system used that these allowances are not included in Gross figure.

Can I please have some advise as to whether I may have incorrectly set up these allowances?

Hi @Sandraisx, 

Thank you for your post. In AccountRight these allowances will appear in gross wages in Payroll reports as they are listed as a wage category. However in the STP reports, these allowances will be listed separately. Our article Allowances has further information on how this is set up in AccountRight. 

Please do let us know if you have any further questions.
