    Hi Sleeper1 

     

    There is no direct way to duplicate a payroll category. However, you would be able to go to Payroll>>Payroll Categories>>Superannuation and review the category you want to duplicate. Once that has been reviewed, you would select New and enter the same information as the other category.

     

    The other option rather than duplicating the category and does only work if the employees are sacrificing the same amount each pay (could be a different amount per employee linked) is:

    1. Navigate to Payroll>>Payroll Categories>>Superannuation
    2. Select that desired category
    3. Ensure the Calculation basis to be User-entered amount per pay
    4. Select Ok
    5. Navigate to the employee's card - Card File>>Cards Lists>>Employee>>Select the employee
    6. Select Payroll Details
    7. Select Standard Pay
    8. Enter the amount that the employee wishes to deduct as a negative in the Amount column for that salary sacrifice category
    9. Select OK

    Adding that amount to the Standard pay will ensure that it does appear per pay for that employee. It can, of course, be overridden on a per-pay basis, if required.
