How to create one-off superannuation payments for an employee

KB126

To do a one-off superannuation payment, do it through payroll

  1. Create a new pay run and ensure it is the last pay run on the month for this employee (see below)
  2. Add the employee to the pay run, remove all pay and leave items, and manually add a superannuation component onto the pay run details screen (bottom right)
  3. Update and apply
  4. Make a payment as you normally would for Superannuation payments. See How to process Superannuation payments to a Clearing House.

This way, it is all kept in payroll and is accountable when you run superannuation reports.

IMPORTANT NOTE: On each pay run, Accentis Enterprise will attempt to ensure that the SGC that has been made for the month for each employee is correct (this is because the first $X of income in a month is not subject to SGC, so on each pay run, Accentis Enterprise checks all pays for the month to see if SGC is now applicable). This means that if you make a manual adjustment to SGC, then on the next pay run Accentis Enterprise will attempt to reverse the adjustment to ensure that the SGC amount for the month is correct.
