Allowance v gross earnings

Hi,

 

I need to set up a 'travel allowance' for an employee.

 

This allowance is part of his agreement (and paid reguarly) so it must be included in their annual/holiday pay calculations. For this to occur it looks like the software allocates it to 'gross earnings' opposed to a 'taxable allowance'. Is this correct? Is there a way for it to show under 'taxable allowance' yet still be included in the employees annual/holiday pay calculations?

 

Cheers,

Re: Allowance v gross earnings

Hi @KaliPPS

 

Thanks for your post. Our Help Article Paying bonuses and dealing with the tax has information on how you would set up staff incentives and how to process the tax on these payments. If this travel allowance is set up as a regular bonus then this must be set up as a gross earning pay code. 

 

If you're unsure if this is the way it should be set up I'd suggest checking business.govt.nz and employment.govt.nz

Cheers,
Melisa
