Onboarding a New Payee (Payroll AU)

Before a job order which has been filled by a candidate can be submitted to timesheet and the candidate can be paid, a payee record must be created for the candidate in the Portal > Pay module.
Multiple payees can be created for each candidate. However, a candidate cannot have multiple payee records with the same tax type and payee type and supplier for the same pay company with overlapping employment dates.
Before you attempt to create a new payee record for a candidate you must know the following information:

• the name of the pay company by which the payee will be employed

• the tax type that will apply to the payee (PAYG or Company)

• the payee type (individual non-business or labour hire for tax type of PAYG, and contractor, Umbrella or 3rd Tier Agency for tax type of Contractor)

• the supplier if the payee type is Umbrella or 3rd Tier Agency

• the employment type that defines the attendance and absence types that are available for the payee on their timesheets in the Portal > Time and Attendance module and the absence types that are available for the payee in the Portal > Leave Request module

• the payee's Tax File Number (TFN) Declaration information (for tax type of PAYG only)

• the payee's choice of superannuation fund

• the payee's default bank account details (only required if payment will be by electronic funds transfer).
