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, which 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.

titleTo include super and entitlements on pay slips

To include super and entitlements on pay slips

Superannuation categories and entitlement categories include an option to Print on Pay Advice. To access a payroll category, go to Payroll > Payroll Categories > Superannuation (or Entitlements ) tab > click the zoom arrow to open the category.


Super not showing on a pay slip?

If you've checked the setup 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 earnings 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.

Other entitlements not showing on a pay slip?

Check the following:

  • Open the pay transaction and make sure the entitlement appears in the pay (Payroll command centre > Transaction Journal > click the zoom arrow to open the transaction).
  • Check that the entitlement has been set up correctly (Payroll command centre > Payroll Categories > Entitlements tab > click the zoom arrow to open the entitlement).
    • Click Employee and make sure you've selected who the entitlement applies to.
      select employees.png
    • Check the entitlement's Calculation Basis. This is often set up incorrectly to Equals x hours of Gross Hours but the employee isn't paid hourly (so nothing will calculate). For salaried employee's, set the calculation basis to Equals x Hours per Pay Period.
    • Check there is a year-to-date value for the entitlement in the employee's card (Card File command centre > Cards Lists > Employee tab > click the zoom arrow to open the employee's card > Payroll Details tab > Entitlements).
