Pay Types

Pay Types, which consist of Pay Rates, Allowances, and Deductions, facilitate processing Payees' payments within a pay run.

Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 allows these Pay Types to be disaggregated from Gross, reported to the ATO as separately itemised components within the Income Stream Collection (where applicable) and passed to multiple Government Agencies. This reporting method also assists in administering the Social Security system.

Due to the stringent requirements surrounding payments, we have pre-configured System Default Pay Rates, Allowances, and Deductions based on the ATO's documentation. This also affects the changes you can make when copying each of these. We have preconfigured these Pay Types for you to help with these new reporting obligations and remove the complexity. We have outlined several different Awards in the system default pay types documentation as examples of when these payments may be applicable. Still, the Pay Types listed may apply to numerous other Awards.

System Default, User Modified, and All Pay Types filter the results shown in the Pay Types List. By default, System Default is selected.
