AccountRight Plus and Premier, Australia only When you print or email a pay slip, its content and layout is determined by the pay slip form - which acts like a template. AccountRight comes with one default pay slip form which you can customise. This lets you change the look and feel of the pay slip as well as change what's displayed. You can also save different versions of the pay slip form. This is handy if you have different pay slip requirements for different employees. If you're not sure what needs to appear on a pay slip, check the FairWork website. UI Expand |

Super not showing on a pay slip?
If you've checked the set up of your superannuation categories and your employees, then the most likely cause is that the employee is yet to reach their monthly superannuation threshold. If the amount earned by an employee for the month is currently less than $450, no superannuation will be calculated. This is because in the Superannuation Information window for the Superannuation Guarantee contribution category, the wage threshold before superannuation is calculated is set to $450. When the employee receives their next pay and their gross earning are above $450, superannuation will be calculated on the total gross amount of wages/salary earned for the month. The superannuation amount will "catch up" because total gross wages/salary for the month are now greater than $450. |
