Deduction Amounts can be deducted as a %
We have employees that want to have a % deducted from their pay for Superannuation Salary Sacrifice, we are unable to accommodate this but want to offer this to our employees.
Also, Child Support also requests % amounts to deduct from an employees pay and we are unable to facilitate this without manual intervention.

Hi Kirsty,
Let me see what I can do to get this in the roadmap.
Seems like we could save you a heap of time here and Id like to do that if
possible.
I suspect we are going to have to get through the STP phase 2 first but
will keep you updated.
thanks
Andrew
I can't understand why we aren't able to use a % for super salary sacrifice. Our EBA requires a % to be used and as our payroll changes every week, this means a manual adjustment to be made for over 100 employees each week......
thanks Tamara. We will consider this.
I’m by no means an expert user of JP at this stage…still learning the system. But in the Employee Maintenance you can check boxes for a variety of items – could Child Support Garnishing not be added there? With an option to select either % deduction or fixed amount deduction? (A/P)

Sounds Tricky,
Taking BPay out of the equation as a separate ask (and noted), I am
interested further in your request... could you suggest briefly in a few
steps how you would like to see a new feature built that would meet your
requirements and make you more efficient?
thanks
Andrew
I have need for an application for Child Support also. Currently I have contractors under a CSA order, with varying percentages of their income garnished. (Depending on the number of children and assessment) Because they are registered for GST, that makes up a component of their Gross, but CSA deductions are on the Nett amount, before the GST is applied. Currently I calculate the figure manually, enter a CN against the contractor for that amount, coded to a Garnishing Clearing ledger, then enter an invoice for the CSA against the Garnishing Clearing ledger, and pick up all 3 entries at once for the payment.
Another annoyance (minor in the big scheme though) is that CSA takes payments via the BPAY system, which Jobpac doesn't support. So these payments have to be made manually through the bank, and I 'pay' them by 'cheque' through JP.
brilliant. Thanks Ricardo
BTW, about my proposed change, you have to consider only transactions with a sequence less than '500' to calculate the Gross Earning. Any transaction with a sequence greater than 500 is either a deduction or a Tax payment.
Well, the Child Support agency has been sending requests to the employer to deduct a percentage of the Gross Earning instead of a fix amount. When the culprit is a salaried employee you can trick the system by doing the calculation as a percentage of Superannuation. However, this method does not work for employees receiving Overtime since overtime is not subject to superannuation. As the client that generated this entry says: It requires manual intervention.
thanks for the suggestion Ricardo. Is this an emerging need in Payroll? how
often does the requirement come up?
The proposed change is very simple. Add an option 'G' to the existing 'A/P/S' options for the Rate field in Transaction Definition. The 'G' option should work in a similar way to 'S' which instead of taking a % of the amount subject to Superannuation it can take the percentage from the Gross Amount to be paid. This change will only affect 4 programs: Transaction Definition, Employee Allowances/Deductions, PR Preprocessing and PR processing.
