Setting up superannuation

Synergetic has the ability to calculate superannuation amounts when you only specify a factor.

When determining the amount of superannuation to pay:

all pay types with the Include in Superannuation Calculation selected in Payroll Code Maintenance are included in the calculation
only lines above the actual superannuation line are included in the calculation.

Example

Remember:

N = Normal Payment, R = Deduction - Pre-Tax (non-superannuation) and E = Superannuation - Employer Contributed
S (Superannuation - Employee Voluntary After Tax) is the same as E except it will be a credit.

This is the simplest situation, a Normal Payment line that is included in superannuation.

Pay Type	Factor	Amount	Include In Super Flag
N		1000.00	Y
E	0.1	100.00	That is, 10% of 1000.

This example has a Normal Payment, Deduction - Pre-Tax (non-superannuation) and Superannuation - Employee Voluntary After Tax.

Pay Type	Factor	Amount	Include In Super Flag
N		1000.00	Y
R		-200.00	N. That is, this is not included in the superannuation calculation.
E	0.1	100.00	Superannuation is still calculated on 1000.

This example demonstrates how superannuation calculations only process what is above them.

Pay Type	Factor	Amount	Include In Super Flag
N		1000.00	Y
E	0.1	100.00	This only includes the 1000 above it.
N		1000.00	Y. That is, another Normal Pay line.
E	0.1	200.00	This includes both lots of 1000.
