Configure Payroll Transaction Codes for Qualifying Earnings (QE)

⚠️ Note

SSID registration must be completed before STP submissions will process.
If this step is not completed, submissions may fail.
Refer to the Payday Super Guide Hub for prerequisite steps.

🔴 Important

QE reporting should only be activated after FY26 payroll has been finalised.
Activating QE too early may impact STP reporting.

Configuring Qualifying Earnings (QE)

As part of the QE setup, a new setting is available in Payroll Transaction Definitions when maintaining a Transaction Code:

“Include in Qualifying Earnings”

This setting must be enabled for the Transaction Code to be included in STP QE Reporting.

To support initial setup, the value of this setting is automatically aligned with the existing “Include Super Calculation” flag.

Key Consideration

There may be differences between:

• What is included in your Super Calculations, and
• What is required to be reported as Qualifying Earnings (QE) under the new legislation

In some cases, employers may currently include more Transaction Codes in Super Calculations than are required for QE reporting.

It is important to review and adjust these settings to ensure accurate QE reporting.
