Miscellaneous Loadings attached to Awards may be treated as separately identified Allowances for STP Reporting purposes, e.g. an Award Overtime Meal Allowance that is over the reasonable allowance amount specified in the Award. If there any Miscellaneous Loadings set up, they are listed on this page of the wizard. If this page is blank, it means that there are no Miscellaneous Loadings set up and you can move on to the next page of the wizard.
What you need to do
The Add Miscellaneous Loading Details screen is used to configure additional loadings or allowances that apply under specific conditions in your payroll or award setup. Here’s what each section means:
- Description: Enter a name for the loading (e.g., “Miscellaneous Loadings”) so it’s easy to identify.
- Loading: Specify the percentage or amount of the loading. In this example, it’s set to 5.0000%, and the checkbox indicates that this is a percentage-based loading.
- Hours Worked / Payment (Min/Max): These fields allow you to define minimum and maximum hours for which the loading applies, if required.
- STP Phase 2:
- Reporting Group: Select the category for reporting purposes (e.g., “Allowance Items”).
- Reporting Subgroup: Choose the specific allowance type (e.g., “MD – Overtime Meal Allowance”) to ensure compliance with Single Touch Payroll reporting.
- Other Allowance Description: Optional field for additional details.
- Payment Conditions: This section determines when the loading applies. You can tick options like Overtime, Shift Loading (Friday), Meal Break Loading, Public Holiday, etc. This ensures the loading is only added under the selected conditions.
Once all details are entered, click OK to save the configuration.
When you Ok & Close or Finish the wizard, the corresponding fields are updated in Miscellaneous Loading Details. [Setup > Awards > (Select an Award) > Loadings > Miscellaneous]
