Payday Super — Reference
Configuring Qualifying Earnings (QE) on transaction codes
How the "Include in Qualifying Earnings" setting works and what you need to review.
Your existing transaction codes are automatically mapped when the QE parameter is activated.
You do not need to manually enable this setting for each code. The only action required is to review whether any codes currently included in super calculations should be excluded from QE under the new legislation.
The "Include in Qualifying Earnings" setting
A new setting is available in Payroll Transaction Definitions:
"Include in Qualifying Earnings"
| What it controls | Whether the transaction code is included in STP QE reporting for super calculations. |
| How it is set initially | Automatically aligned with the existing "Include Super Calculation" flag when the QE parameter is activated. |
| When it takes effect | Only once Parameter OZEDI Position 5 is set to Y. The checkbox is visible beforehand but has no impact until the parameter is on. |
What you need to review
In some cases, your super calculations may currently include transaction codes that should not be part of QE under the new legislation — for example, genuine overtime or expense reimbursements.
Review each transaction code currently included in super calculations. For any that should be excluded from QE, uncheck the "Include in Qualifying Earnings" flag in Payroll Transaction Definitions.
For guidance on what is and isn't included in QE, refer to the ATO guidance on Qualifying Earnings.
