CloudPayroll has a top up tool that allows you to top up an employee's pay. This is useful for making sure employee's receive the full value of the JobKeeper Payment.
|
Note: You only need to set up this tool, and the pay element for this tool, if your employees have been stood down or your employees' normal pay is less than $1,500 a fortnight. |
In order to use this tool, you must first enable it, and edit the pay element the Top Up Allowance Upload tool uses to a JobKeeper Payment Pay Element.
Once the Top Up Allowance Upload tool is set up, you will be able to use this tool each payroll to allocate the value of the JobKeeper Payment for any employees who are stood down, and top up the pay for any employees who have been paid less than the value of the JobKeeper Payment.
