Below are the steps required to setup a superannuation salary sacrifice.
Instructions
PART ONE – Deduction Header
A Payee Superannuation deduction header must be created before a deduction can be setup in the payee record. If a Payee Superannuation deduction header already exists, go to Part Two.
- Go to Payroll > Maintenance > Deduction Header
- Click the + symbol to add a new deduction header – click Search Deduction Headers to see if a Payee Superannuation header already exists
- Enter the following required fields:
- Deduction Type – must be Payee Superannuation
- Name - must be unique
- Description
- Apply Order – this determines the order the deduction will be deducted from payees' earnings. For example, a value of 0 indicates that deductions linked to the deduction header will be deducted before those with an apply order of 1,2,3 and so on.
- Untick EFT Payment – This should be blank as salary sacrifice super will be included in SuperStream reporting
- Complete the other fields if required
- Click the + symbol to add a Validity Period and enter a Validity Start Date
- Click the Pencil symbol to open the Deduction Settings screen and select the required options.
- Closed Deduction Applied to Adjustments – includes the expired deduction in an adjustment batch if it was valid during the period being adjusted
- GST – GST is applied if deduction is applied to a payee with Company as the tax type
- RESC – if selected, this will be enabled by default in the payee deduction but can be overridden
- Reduce Superable Salary – reduces the earnings that the superannuation guarantee amount will be calculated on
- Click OK > Click Save
