JobKeeper Extension

If you are eligible for the JobKeeper extension, you will need to identify which employees are going to be paid Tier 1 or Tier 2. This is done through

the creation of an allowance code on the Payroll Payment and Deduction Codes parameter.

JobKeeper-Payment - Payment rates

Step-by-step guide

1. First create the two JobKeeper Tier allowance codes via MenuBar > Parameters > Set Parameters > Payroll > Payroll Payment and

Deduction Codes (PC).

The description of the Allowance Codes must be the same as that described below and any deviation may cause significant delay or prevent

reimbursement.

Tier 1 

Tier 2

2. For each of your eligible employees, enter an Adjustment Pay Run, assigning an Allowance Code of the appropriate Tier code with an

amount of $0.00 and lodge with the ATO. This is similar to the steps when you nominated your Start Fortnight.

3. Once you have assigned the JobKeeper Tiers to all eligible employees, select Audit Payroll Transactions > Audit Pays.

4. You will process your pays as per normal using the JobKeeper Top Up allowance to the relevant amount of the selected Tier.

If you are no longer eligible for JobKeeper, you will need to create a JobKeeper Finish allowance code for fortnight 14 and add these to the previously

eligible employees as an allowance code and report to the ATO. To create your JobKeeper Finish Allowance code for fortnight 14, see below.
