Learn how to add a deduction to a pay run in Payroller with our simple guide below.

Step 1: Click on '+ New Pay Run'.

Step 2: Customise the Pay Run Period, Pay Period Ending date, and Payment Date, then select ‘Let's Start!’.

Step 3: Click on ‘More’.

Step 4: Select ‘Deduction’.

Step 5: Select whether it is a Pre-tax deduction, Post-tax deduction, or a Non-reportable deduction.


Definition:

  • A pre-tax deduction reduces the taxable income before tax is calculated. Tax is then based on this reduced amount.

  • A post-tax deduction is taken from the gross income after tax has been calculated. This does not affect the tax amount.

  • A non-reportable deduction functions like a pre-tax deduction, but it is not reported to the ATO.


Step 6: Next, you'll need to choose the type of deduction: either fees or workplace giving.

Step 7: Add the amount.

Step 8: Select ‘Next’.

Step 9: Save the pay run.

Step 10: Submit the pay run to the ATO.

Once you have finalised the pay run, the deduction will appear on the employee's payslip.

If you have a recurring deduction, you can add it in the Templates section of the employee's card.
