One off annual salary sacrifice

I have employees who annually(one lump sum payment per year) salary sacrifice to their super. 

What are the steps to entering  this transaction to payroll ?

    Hi LydB64

     

    Thanks for the update on this.

     

    In this matter, the super guarantee is different from salary sacrifice that's why the amount entered in salary sacrifice is a minus figure. Superannuation guarantee is employer expense while salary sacrifice is from the employee.

     

    For superannuation guarantee the calculation should be 11%. Also, you would need to check if the employee was linked to a superannuation guarantee. For salary sacrifice, you will need to choose user selected amount to manually enter every transaction.

     

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

      Thankyou

      i have followed those instructions. I'd like clarification in entering the payroll transaction. If it's a separate transaction to a regular pay, do I just enter the amount as minus figure  under salary sacrifice ? And when I scroll down,  the super guarantee amount shows 0.00 as in in its not calculating the super guarantee amount on the salary sacrifice as I presume it should
