H. Hourly

Hourly-type payments, such as ordinary time and overtime. H.Hourly type allowance payments are included in the Hours Worked Summary report.

R. Salary

If an employee is set up with Payment type = Salaried and Auto-pay = Yes, then a Salary Hours transaction is created when you open a Standard pay. The transaction is created using the employee’s profiled hours and pay frequency. This setup is rarely used because most clients prefer to use H. Hourly allowances and payroll rules to pay employees for hours worked.

A. Allowance

Used for taxable or non-taxable allowances paid to an employee. These can be paying or non-paying, for example, shift allowance, kilometre allowance, annual leave on-cost transactions, and counters.

Z. Employer Super

Used to create transactions for employer superannuation contributions. Z.Employer Super type allowance payments are included in the superannuation reports.

C. ACC

Used for NZ Accident Compensation Corporation payments.

L. Annual Leave

Payments based on this allowance type debit an employee's annual leave balance. You may need more than one annual leave allowance if annual leave on termination does not attract superannuation contributions.

Y. Leave Credit Accrued

Payments based on this allowance type credit an employee's leave credit balance. You need to create a separate Y-type allowance for each leave credit code. Examples of leave credits are Rostered Days Off, and Time in Lieu.

V. Leave Credit Paid

Payments based on this allowance type debit an employee's leave credit balance. You need to create a separate V-type allowance for each leave credit code.

O. Long Service Leave

Payments based on this allowance type debit an employee's long service leave balance. You may need more than one long service leave allowance if long service leave on termination does not attract superannuation contributions.

S. Sick Leave

S. Special Leave

Payments based on this allowance type debit an employee's sick leave balance. If you want to record different types of sick leave separately, such as sick leave with certificate, sick leave without certificate, and family leave, then you need to set up an allowance for each. Alternatively you can set up reason codes, such as Sick Leave with Certificate. When the payroll user creates a sick leave transaction, they can select the appropriate reason code.

T. Tax Override

All companies must have a T.Tax Override type allowance. Use this allowance type to override tax calculations.

In Australia, tax overrides are required to complete a termination payment.

In the UK, tax overrides are rarely used to override tax calculations. They are mainly used for advancing tax periods when you pay holiday pay. The T.Tax Override type allowance is also used for National Insurance overrides.

X. Termination

All companies must have an X-type termination allowance. Use this allowance type to terminate employees.

W. Days Worked

The W.Days Worked allowance type depends on the company’s leave settings. This allowance type records how the average days worked in a pay period are calculated.

The average days worked may come from Time & Attendance or it can be entered manually during transaction entry. If it is not entered manually, then PayGlobal defaults Days Worked to the employee's profiled hours on their Payments tab page.
