Setting up an employee salary sacrifice

Step 1 - Set up a salary sacrifice income type

It is best practice to make a separate income type for each different type of Salary Sacrifice (e.g. Salary Sacrifice Car, Salary Sacrifice Laptop, Novated Lease etc.).

If you have already set up the required salary sacrifice income types then proceed directly to Step 2 - Setting up an Employee Record to deduct a salary sacrifice

Please note that an allowance income type for Salary Sacrifice Superannuation will already be set up in your payroll system so there is no need to add another.

Select the Setup sub menu.
