To support these requirements, in this release we have added the ability to determine which method is used so you will have control over the calculation method applied when creating Adjustment Pay Batches.

The changes include:

  • A new field has been added to the Create Batch screen (shown below) to allow you to choose the tax calculation method at the point of creating an adjustment pay batch. The options include:

    • Standard - this will be the default where the adjustment period that is selected has a pay period end date that falls within the current financial year, however can be changed to the ‘Bii’ option if required.

    • Bii - this will be the default if the adjustment period selected has a period end date that falls into a prior financial year. This can be changed to the ‘Standard’ option if required.

  • The Tax pay batch stage has been enhanced for adjustment batches to apply the tax calculation method that has been selected when creating the pay batch.

  • The method used in an adjustment pay batch is stored against the batch so that this can be reported on and can be factored into the method bii calculation for other adjustment pay batches.

...

In the example above the user is in the process of creating an adjustment pay batch, so the Tax Method options are displayed for selection.
