I have income under both 'Salary/Wages' and 'Closely Held Employee' types and can not figure out what pay runs allocated the income.

Hello jivemedia,

 

You'll have to check the employee's Pay Run Default settings and Tax file declaration making sure they have the correct setup. There is no special configuration is required for any employee classified as salary & wages. The system will assume this income type by default unless one of the other income types is selected for an employee.

 

Here's how to review  applicable employees:

 

  1. Click on the Employees tab, and select employee's name.
  2. Click on Pay Run Defaults.
  3. Scroll down and locate STP Income Types section, check or select the income type.
  4. Click on Save.

If an employee's income type is either working holiday maker or seasonal worked, you'll have to check the employee's Tax File Declaration set up.

 

If you need to check what pay runs was allocated to the income type, you can run the Detailed Activity Report in the Employees tab, and select Reports tab.
