Processing payroll giving deductions (New Zealand)

Payroll Giving allows employees to "give as they earn" by making donations directly from their pay to approved Donee organisations. For every dollar an employee donates they receive a third back as a tax credit in the same pay period.

MYOB Exo Payroll is able to process Payroll Giving through Current or One Off pays.

If employee wants to make a regular donation in each pay period, the Payroll Giving deduction should be added to that employee's Standard Pay. If the employee is wanting to do "one off" or irregular donations then these can be done in Current Pays or One Off Pays.

To add a payroll giving deduction to an employee's standard pay

In Employee Maintenance select the employee who will be making the donation
Click on the Standard Pay tab
Click on the Deductions button to bring up the Deduction window.
Click on the Add:F4 button then select the Payroll Giving deduction appropriate to this employee
Enter the dollar value to be donated
Click on Save:F10 to save this deduction
Having added the Payroll Giving deduction to the Standard Pay, whenever a Current Pay is created the Payroll Giving deduction will be included automatically.

If a "one off" or irregular donation is to be processed for an employee, the Payroll Giving deduction should be added to the Current Pay or One Off Pay being processed.

To process a one-off donation for an employee

Select the employee in the Current Pay (or One Off Pay) who will be making the donation.
Follow Step 3 to Step 6 of the above instructions for adding to a Standard Pay
Click on the Deductions button to bring up the Deduction window.
Click on the Add:F4 button then select the Payroll Giving deduction appropriate to this employee
Enter the dollar value to be donated
Click on Save:F10 to save this deduction

Once the Payroll Giving deduction has been processed in the Current Pay (or One Off Pay), the Payroll Giving Payment Advisor report can be used to report on the deductions being made.

Payment of the deductions to the Donee Organisations are the responsibility of the employer.
