STEP 2 - Add the Per Piece (Unit) Pay Types in the Pay Template for the Payee.

If you have not yet added the Payee, refer to How do I add Payees (Employees) for Single Touch Payroll?

Select Payees from the side navigation menu.

Locate the Payee you require by manually scrolling through the Payee List, entering the name into Search or using Show Advanced Filters.

Once the Payee has been located, select Actions > Edit.

🎯 Edit is unavailable if the Payee is included in an unposted Pay Run. To edit the Payee, the Payee must either be removed from the Pay Run or the Pay Run must be posted/reported to the ATO.

Select Employment and Payment.

Navigate to Pay Template.

Select Advanced Pay Template if you want to define the QTY and/or Rate the Payee must be paid.

🎯 Before selecting Basic, please ensure the Rate displayed for Ordinary Time is identical to the Rate displayed in Rate Per Hour. Please update the Rate Per Hour / Annualised Salary if these amounts differ.

Select the relevant Pay Types required for this Payee. For example, if the Payee is a Casual, we recommend adding Casual Loading (OTE).

🎯 To be able to select Salary Sacrifice (to Super Fund, OTE) and After Tax Superannuation Contribution in Pay Template, the Payee's Employee Contributions Superannuation Contribution Details must be entered. Refer to How do I change the Employee Contributions (before/after PAYGW) Fund Details for a Payee?

If Advanced Pay Template was chosen, change the Quantity and/or Rate as required.

We typically find that the default Quantity for Casual Payees is zero to ensure they are not paid automatically when included in the Pay Run.

Then select the Plus (Add) button to add the Pay Type. Repeat the above steps until all Pay Types are added.
