With Christmas fast approaching, it can be easy to overlook your payroll requirements, so here are our quick 3 planning tips for a seamless End of Year.

1. Planning Ahead

Sometimes at this time of the year, payrolls require processing in advance or you may need additional payrolls altogether. You can plan ahead simply by letting us know the expected release date of your payroll (day before the employees are paid) and we’ll process the payroll and ensure the payments are scheduled accordingly.
Also, ensure your payroll data is submitted prior to 11am on the day before employees are paid (weekly and fortnightly). For monthly paid employees, your payroll data should be submitted 48hrs in advance.

2. Keep Us Informed  

It’s important that we stay across any special requests such as salary adjustments, package changes and multiple terminations. Knowing of your requirements in advance will help us assign the resources necessary during this time.
Most clients are set up to ensure that leave payments will not go negative, but if you wish to override this, let us know by getting in touch with your Aussiepay consultant.

3. TNA Limits   

 
Christmas can usually bring extra payments like multiple weeks leave, bonuses or ad hoc payments. It’s important to know that these payments can result in breaching your TNA (Transactional Negotiation Authority) limit when your super payments and PAYG Tax payments are taken into consideration.
If you expect that you might exceed your TNA limit, get in touch with your bank Account Manager for more information on a temporary increase to your limit.

Because this can take a couple of weeks to work its way through the system, it’s best to plan in advance.
It’s also important that your bank communicates any increases in limit to our entry portal into the banking system, Westpac Direct Entry.
Note: Clients paying super by DDR are not impacted by TNA limit issues.
