Superannuation not calculating on Annual Leave for Salary Staff

I have changed our company accounts to MYOB Accountright Live for the 2019 finanacial year.  I setup the Payroll categories including superannuation exactly the same as they were in my Accountright Enterprise file.  I have just noticed that superannuation has not been calculating correctly for salary staff when they take annual leave or sick leave.  Basically superannuation is not being calculated for salary staff on any leave.  I have included screen shots below to explain. 

I have checked the exemptions and I have no exemptions ticked. 

It is the same for staff on different funds as well. 

This did not happen in Accountright Enterprise. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Superannuation Setup for Salary Staff

    UPDATE:

     

    I have done some more searching last night and believe I may have the answer to my problem but would appreciate if someone could confirm.

     

    I had staff on salary setup as base salary in the superannuation setup and staff on wages setup as gross wages.

     

    From what I read last night the gross wages category isn't for staff on wages, it is the category that includes all payroll categories and then you can tick to exempt the categories you don't want included.

     

    This would explain why it only seems to be effecting salary staff with annual leave and not wage staff on annual leave.

     

    I think this is slightly confusing terminology on MYOBs part.  Maybe it should be more of a select all category rather than gross wages.  

     

    Would appreciate confirmation on this or not if I am incorrect in my understanding.

     

    Thanks all.

    Hi Michelle_G68 

     

    Open the Super payroll category and click the Exempt button. This will likely show you that someone has exempted Annual Leave Pay when calculating Super - if yes untick.

      Hi Michelle_G68 

       

      Thanks for your post.  You are correct that since you have set this to calculate from Base salary, and no base salary was entered, it did not show up.  You can check the setup and find additional details by checking out the following help articles for AccountRight
