On your Payroll home screen, tap Pay Items.

Pay items are categorised in four groups:

1. Earnings
2. Deductions
3. Reimburse
4. Leave

These are your pay item categories. Within these categories, you have two pay item types. They include:

1. Hourly based items (this is where you enter the hours you are paying the employee)
2. Dollar entry amounts (this is the fixed amount you are paying the employee) 

Earnings 

The first section at the top of your screen is Earnings. On this screen, there are four sections:

1. Ordinary (highlighted here, as example)
2. Overtime
3. Allowances
4. Termination

Earnings are like wages, overtime, penalty rates, bonuses or allowances. Select which, if any, apply.

Note: 'Ordinary' includes all penalty hours which are multiples of the base hourly rate.

Deductions

The second section at the top of your screen is Deductions. On this screen, there are three sections:

1. Union / Association Fees
2. Workplace Giving
3. Other

Deductions take payments out of your employees' pay to cover items like union fees and salary sacrifice. Select which, if any, apply.

Reimburse

The third section at the top of your screen is Reimburse. On this screen, there is one section:

1. Reimbursements

Reimbursements are for out-of-pocket or other expenses you reimburse employees for, like mileage or travel allowances. Enter any reimbursements, if applicable.

Leave

The fourth section at the top of your screen is Leave. On this screen, there is one section:

1. Leave

Leave pay items record annual leave, sick or personal/carer's leave which only apply to permanent employees. Select which, if any, apply.

To reference the descriptions of each pay item type, tap the  icon in the upper right corner of the Pay Items screen.
