Update of Pay Component Sub type form – ZonePayroll Knowledge Base

Overview

In ZonePayroll Bundle 30500 Version 19.3.00 we have updated the Pay Component Sub type form to expand on field groups and reorder some of the fields. Hopefully this makes it easier read and enter information.

A Pay Component Sub type is essentially the definition for the Payroll Item that ends up as a Payslip Detail line on an Employees Payslip. It determines how the software treats payroll elements for things like tax and super and is the default for things like posting information.

“Ordinary weekly pay” represents everything an employee is normally paid weekly, including:

Intermittent or one-off payments as well as discretionary payments are not included in ordinary weekly pay.
1. For many people, ordinary weekly pay is quite clear because they are paid the same amount each week.
2. Where ordinary weekly pay is unclear for any reason, the Act provides a formula for working it out. Ordinary weekly pay is established by:
going to the end of the last pay period from that date, going back four weeks, or if the pay period is longer than four weeks, the length of the pay period taking the gross earnings for that period deducting from the gross earnings any payments that are irregular or that the employer is not bound to pay dividing the answer by four.
