Make Attachments to Sick Leave Applications Mandatory
Location
Affinity Self Service Leave Admin
Purpose
Meet policy and legislative requirements and ensure that the correct documentation is attached to sick leave applications.
How to do it
Open the Self Service Leave Admin module and select Sick.
Select Mandatory as the attachment requirement. Optionally, in Attachment Limit, enter the number of hours an employee can take as sick leave before they must attach a document (e.g. 24 hours).
When employees apply for leave, they will know that documentation must be attached because *required will show on the screen.
About the 645 Superannuation Report
Location
Reports > Standard Reports
Purpose
This report summarises employer and employee KiwiSaver contributions as well as contributions to private superannuation schemes. Information is grouped by scheme, then sorted by employee surname. This report is important because it summarises all KiwiSaver-compliant and non-KiwiSaver superannuation contributions for the current period, month-to-date and year-to-date.
Pay Element of the Month: NOPTAX
This Australia-only informational code fully suppresses the payroll tax calculation for selected employees. To use it, first select NONE from the Scheme 2 lookup in the employee masterfile Allowances/Deductions tab. If NONE does not appear in the lookup, add it to the Scheme 2 table in Dictionaries. Next, add the NOPTAX code with a status of 0 to the employee masterfile (also in the Allowances/Deductions tab). From the next pay run, no payroll tax will be calculated for the employee. To restart the payroll tax calculation, in the employee masterfile change the NOPTAX code status to 1 and select a state (e.g. NSW) from the Scheme 2 lookup.
