Discontinued

Use this checkbox if the existing code is to be no longer used.

Calculation Method

Used to instruct the system how to calculate the amount of the contribution. For example, select a value of “Percentage of Gross”. Position your cursor in the Percentage field. Based on your selection from the Calculation Method pick list, the Percentage field is used to enter the percentage figure to calculate. For the purposes of this exercise, enter a value of “9”.

Percentage

Enter a figure of -100 (negative 100).

Whatever value is applied to the employee for their sacrifice will be automatically applied to this contribution. As a work type, a salary sacrifice is already a negative in gross earnings. The contribution needs to be a positive, so a negative figure (work type) combined with a negative percentage figure will result in a positive contribution.

Work Type

This option allows the contribution to be set to particular work types only i.e. no other work types paid to the employee will be affected by the contribution, other than those selected in this window.

Press Add Line and select the work type created in section 0
