QRG Create a Payee Deduction - Superannuation

Purpose

The purpose of this quick reference guide is to step through the process of creating a Superannuation Payee Deduction record. The intended audience for this document is system administrators / standard users.

Steps

Create a new Superannuation Payee Deduction record

The Superannuation Payee Deduction record holds general Information, Pay Code and Rates, Quantity Worked variations, Deduction Limits, Recipient Details and Deduction Statistics for a Payee Deduction Record. Create a Superannuation Payee Deduction by following the steps below:

Navigate to the Payee record.

To identify a Payee record from an Employee record, enter the Employee name into the Global Search (see Figure 1).

Figure 1

Select the Employee record from the suggestions provided.
Open the Related tab (see Figure 2).

Figure 2

Identify the Payee related list.
Select the Payee record.
Click Deductions from the tab options (see Figure 3).
Click the New button.

Figure 3

Select Superannuation Deductions from the available Record Types (see Figure 4).
Click the Next button.

Figure 4

Populate the following required fields, regardless of whether you are using Payee Deduction Templates or not (see Figure 5):
1. Payee Deduction Record
2. Payee
3. Employee
4. Payment Entity
Populate the following optional fields as needed (see Figure 5):
1. If the Payee Deduction is specific only to one Assignment, populate the Assignment field. If blank, this Payee Deduction will apply to all Assignments for this Payee.
2. To prevent the Status of the Payee Deduction from being updated by the automatic status update scheduled job, populate the Exclude From Auto Update checkbox.

Figure 5

An Assignment should only be entered if the Deduction is directly related to a specific role. If an Assignment is not entered, the Deduction will apply to all Pay Transactions processed to the Payee.

The Pay Batch Event field will be automatically populated upon saving the record, and should not be manually entered.

Populate the following required fields (see Figure 6):
1. Effective Date
2. Status
If using the Payee Deduction Template, the Payee Deduction Template field becomes a required field (see Figure 6).
If the Payee Deduction Template is NOT being used, the following additional fields become required (see Figure 6):
1. Pay Code
2. Deduction Rate Type
3. Deduction Rate
4. Deduction Order
To define any rules and limits that apply to the Payee Deduction record, populate the following optional fields as needed (see Figure 6):
1. Expiry Date
2. Deduction Units

Figure 6

The Status field will be automatically updated upon saving the record, based on the Start Date and End Date.

Populate the required fields of Pay To Withholding Record and Pay To Type (must be Payee Withholding) to relate the specific Super Withholding Record this deduction is related to (see Figure 7).
To define any rules and limits that apply to the Payee Deduction record, populate the following optional fields as needed (see Figure 7):
1. Based on Quantity Worked
2. Quantity Worked Minimum
3. Quantity Worked Maximum
4. Total Deduction Limit
5. Quantity
6. Pay Calendar Period Deduction Limit
7. Protected Amount Applied
8. Is Rollover Underpaid Deductions?
9. Super Contribution Type

The Based on Quantity Worked is critical for Payees with Assignments that have Deductions which are reliant on scalable Pay Rates against actual hours processed within a Pay Batch for a particular Pay Calendar Period. Generally, this is not applicable for Superannuation Payee Deductions.

The Superannuation Payee Deduction Record must have the Pay to Withholding Record field populated to ensure it’s linked to the existing AU Super Withholding record associated with the Payee, and will report as required for SuperStream Lodgements.

The Deduction Payrun Statistics will update automatically with historical statistics of the Deduction record, and should never be manually populated.

Figure 7

Click the Save button.

A new Superannuation Deduction Record is now created (see Figure 8).

Figure 8

The Payment File for this deduction can not be automated in the 2cloudnine Pay Batch, and will need to be included in any payments that are made as part of Payday Super.

To modify an existing Payee Deduction record, open the required record and select the Edit button available on the top right side of the page. You can also double click within fields that need editing or just click on the pencil icon that appears within fields when hovering with your cursor.
When complete, click on the Save button.
