Hi,
I have an employee who has requested to salary sacrifice 100% of their income. I have set this up as 'super salary sacrifice' under deductions and selected 'before tax'.
When processing the pay run, I enter the pay as normal, then put the entire gross wages figure into the 'deductions' box. This doesn't alter the 'gross' pay, but sets the 'take home pay' as $0.
When the pay run is completed, I then transfer the 'take home pay' totals to each employee's bank account. In the case of the employee that is salary sacrificing, I transfer the entire 'gross pay' amount directly to their super fund account.
Each transfer on the automatic bank feed is automatically matched to the wages payment.
My problem is that the salary sacrifice payment doesn't automatch and I can't manually match it (i.e. the 'match' tab under allocations doesn't contain any potential matches). If I try to allocate it as 'wages', it counts this sum twice in my 'wages and salary' account. Is there a way I can match this transaction to the salary sacrifice amount?
Any help would be much appreciated.
