Configure the details for Australian payees that are associated with deductions in the Third-Party Payees tab of payroll Setup. The details that are defined for a third-party payee record are included in the bank file that Dayforce generates on payroll commit.
As of Release 58, Service Pack 2, a corresponding record is automatically added to third-party payees when the Superannuation Standard Choice form is submitted and processed. For more information about the Superannuation Standard Choice form, See Superannuation Standard Choice Form in the Self Service Guide.
Note the following that are specific to Australia for configuring payees in the Payees tab of the Third-Party Payees feature:
- In the General section of the payee details, the Payee Category drop-down list includes preconfigured options to classify categories that are used in the selection list when configuring an earning, deduction, or managing an employee payroll election. Examples of preconfigured payee categories include options, such as Australian Tax Office, Child Support Payments, Garnishments, or superannuation schemes. See Overview of Superannuation.
- In the Payment Method section, Australians have four methods to select from in the Payment Method drop-down list. These payment methods are Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), BPAY, Direct Credit, and Direct Debit. When you select an option, the Payment Method section opens the following additional settings, respective of your payment method choice:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Account Number | Number of the payee bank account. |
| BSB Code |
A six-digit Bank State Branch number used to identify the specific branch of the bank account. |
| Combine Employees | These checkboxes aren’t applicable for Australian payees and should be left cleared. |
| Combine Earnings and Deductions | |
| Show Employee Details |
Select this option for the payment file to list each employee who contributed to the total payment. If the employee has a reference number specified for their garnishment record or payroll elections record, the reference number is included in the payment file. This option is only shown when you select EFT in the Method drop-down list in the Payment Method section. This option isn’t applicable to payees with Payee Category = Australian Taxation Office. Note: For reference numbers specified against a payroll election to be picked up, a parameter must be configured using the third-party payee, and its reference code must be ‘Reference’, case sensitive. |

| Biller Code | This is the BPAY code for the biller (in this case, the employee using PBAY). |
