Choosing the right child support code for payday filing

In MYOB Advanced Payroll, on the Employee's Current Pay screen, you can add the child support code to the Variation code field. The field only becomes available if changes are made to a child support pay item with the Reducing Balance Calculation checkbox selected, or if you replace that pay item with a new one.

Here's how to select the right code:

• If more than one variation code applies, the priority of the variation codes is listed below, with the lowest number being the highest priority.

  Code	Priority
  C – ceased employment	1
  A – advanced payment	2
  P – protected earnings	3
  S – short term absence	4
  D – deducted previously	5
  O – other	6

• If no variation applies, or if child support is not required to be deducted for the employee, then leave the field blank.

• If you deduct the exact child support amount requested for the employee on the Child Support Deduction (YL0010) notice, no code is required.
