Adjust PAYG and Super
The platform will not automatically calculate PAYG and super, so you have to calculate them. To adjust these two, please follow the steps below:
- Click the Actions button.
- Click Adjust PAYG.
- Write a note if needed, and enter the PAYG amount to be adjusted.
- Click the Save button.
- Then, click the Actions button.
- Click Adjust Super.
- Choose the correct super type, write a note if needed, and enter the super amount to be adjusted.
- Click the Save button.
- If you need to adjust leave, please go to the Adjust Leave section of this article.
- If you are done, please go to the Finalise Pay Run section.
Adjust Leave
You can also adjust leave balances in this pay run. To do this, following these steps:
- Click the Actions button.
- Click Adjust Leave.
- Choose the correct leave category, and write a note if needed.
- Enter the leave amount.
Important
Put a negative number to reduce the employee's leave balance. This means you have to put a minus sign (e.g. -5, -1).
Otherwise, put a positive number to increase their leave balance (e.g. 4, 2).
- Click the Save button.
Helpful Hint
You need to perform Steps 32-36 for each leave category that was accrued in the original pay run.
- If you are done, please go to the Finalise Pay Run section.
Finalise Pay Run
The last step in reversing wages and overpayments is finalising the pay run.
