Pay codes have been updated to support:
- income stream types
- additional reporting categories.
Note: You can select the income stream type and reporting category for each pay code using the General tab of Pay Code Maintenance. See Pay Code Maintenance - General tab.
Income stream types
As the name suggests, income stream types are used to report the type of income stream linked to each pay code. The following income stream types can be selected:

- IAA - Inbound assignees to Australia
- WHM - Working holiday makers
- SWP - Seasonal worker programme
- FEI - Foreign employment
- VOL - Voluntary agreement
- LAB - Labour hire
- OSP - Other specified amounts.
When your organisation is transitioned to STP-2, pay codes will be set to use the Salary and Wages (SAW) income stream type.
Note: You can select the income stream type for each pay code using the General tab of Pay Code Maintenance. See Pay Code Maintenance - General tab.
