Paying an employee without a bank account

[shan_leapfrog3d]

Hi

I wish to process a pay through NZ Payroll for PAYE reasons but the employee doesn't not have a NZ bank account.

I can't find anything to set it up as pay by cheque so I do not have to enter a bank account. 

Thanks

Hi @shan_leapfrog3d

You can set you employee up with the payment code of CA for cash or CH for cheque

Add one of these codes to the employee and make it variable and change the DC code to Regular (so the CH code goes to the bottom of the list.

Thanks for your help @jenniek

They are on are tax code STC, rate = 0% (which is easy enough).

But we also have to pay ACC Earner Levy of 1.45%. 

How do I account for that in the system for this employee?

Thanks

Hi

Just wondering if anyone can help with the above? 

I need to enter this before I roll the PAYE over.

Thanks

Hi @shan_leapfrog3d

As the ACC rate is bulit into the PAYE payroll category amount automatically it should be appearing for that employee.

For example I have set my employee up with STC of 0%

If I process a pay for them with the gross amount being $200 the PAYE amount would be 2.9000 (200 x 1.45%)

Personally I think you are good to go. However might be worth just doing a manual check to make sure that the PAYE amount does appear and is 1.45 % of the Gross. Its better to check now and get it right first time than deal with it after the fact.

Yes I did that and it works

Thanks for your confirmation @Steven_M
