Overview of Statutory Deductions for Australia
Statutory Deduction cards store all the information required to accurately compute tax, superannuation and payroll tax.
One card must be created for each employee and for the TRU that the employee reports to.
Considerations and Prerequisites
If the product license is set to Payroll or Payroll Interface, employee Statutory Deduction cards are automatically created when a new employee is entered using the New Hire task with a set of default values specified at the Payroll Statutory Unit (PSU) or the Tax Reporting Unit (TRU) level.
However, there may be cases where this information must be loaded in bulk:
During data migration:
Employee PAYG and superannuation information must be uploaded into Oracle Fusion Payroll, to ensure that contributions are calculated correctly. If HCM Data Loader is used to migrate employee records, a default statutory deduction card is automatically created. The default may not reflect the employee’s actual tax and superannuation information, and therefore the card must be updated.
Ongoing bulk updates:
- Bulk loading of new hire data: If you have to do a mass upload of New Hire information, a default Statutory Deductions card may be automatically generated (if the new hire records are created through HCM Data Loader or the interface with Taleo). In this case, you need to update the default card with the correct information.
You must create element eligibility for element Statutory Deductions. This needs to be done once for each LDG that is used for entering person calculation cards.
It is recommended to have a good understanding of the Statutory Deductions card and the information it contains prior to attempting mass upload as it has a direct impact on statutory deductions and reporting.
