How do i set up one of my employees with first aid allowance

Hi there,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

Let me guide you on how to add an employee first aid allowance in your payroll. First, let's create a pay category for the first aid allowance. Here's how:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on the Payroll Settings and click on Pay Categories.
3. Click on Add option and enter the Pay Category name.
4. Click on Add.
5. Under Units set it to Fixed.
6. Select a Payment Summary Classification for the allowance if it needs to be reported separately for STP.
7. Click on Save.

Then, assign the pay category to the employee using the se steps below.

1. Click on Payroll tab and click on the employee name from the list.
2. Click on Pay Rate.
3. Select the pay category name and tick box for the Show in Pay Run.
4. Click on Save.

That's it! When you create your next pay run the first allowance should show automatically on the pay run.
