Accidental Super payment to under 18 employee

[Maureenn]

Hi I accidently paid super to an under 18 employee who worked less than 30 hours. Our pay run is weekly. Can I put negative amount in his super in the next pay run to adjust it? Can I do a new payrun with all amounts zero and keep super amount negative and record it? What is the best way to do it? I use MYOB Accountright.

Hi @Maureenn 

Thank you for your post. I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. I hope you find it a valuable resource.

The first option putting a negative amount in his super in the next pay run to adjust it, is a workaround. The other way through this is reversing the employee's pay and reprocess. 

However this option can only be done if you just accidentally include the super in the pay run and not in the Pay super window. Since reversing the whole Pay super transaction takes time to process.

Can I please confirm that the Super payment is not yet process and paid in the Pay super window? If yes, reversing the pay run is the best option.

Please feel free to post again I'm happy to assist.

Thank you, I have charged negative super in the last pay cycle. Luckily it was not processed in the paysuper window.

Hi as I stated above I have charged the negative amount of super in the payrun. 

Now both the negative and positive super balance is in the pay super window.

I can not select those amount when processing super because the under 18 employee does not have superannuation membership yet. How can I get rid of those amount in the pay super window?

Thank you,

Hi @dhimurru 

Thank you for your post.

You'll need to reverse the payrun with the superannuation for the employee, both one with negative and the positive figures. This Help Article, Fixing a pay, has detailed information to assist with this.
