Set Up Payroll Elections for Employee Salary Sacrifice

Before You Begin: A deduction definition for employee salary sacrifice needs to be configured. See Set Up Employee Salary Sacrifice Deductions.

You need to add payroll elections for any non-default superannuation contributions. This includes the following:

• The non-default employer contribution (for example, for override rate/different choice of fund) that will replace the default contribution.
• The employee salary sacrifice contribution.

You don’t need to add a payroll election for the default employer contribution. For information on using this screen, see Employee Payroll Elections in the People Feature.

Depending on how the deduction is configured, you might also need to define the percentage that is deducted from the employee's pay, the payee of the superannuation scheme, and its USI and ABN.

In order for the application to deduct employee salary sacrifice, you need to set up a deduction election in the Payroll > Payroll Elections screen of People.

To set up a deduction election:

1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Payroll > Payroll Elections.
2. Click Add to add a payroll election record.
3. In the General Details section, select Deduction in the Type drop-down list.
4. In the Code drop-down list, select the net pay deduction that you created for employee salary sacrifice.
5. Select a deduction frequency in the Schedule drop-down list.
6. Click Save.
