At times, you may need to process an ad hoc pay run to pay missed wages or additional payments, such as bonuses. In some cases, when an ad hoc pay run is processed using the same period start and end dates, the PAYG should be calculated using the total gross from both pay runs. Otherwise, the employee may underpay their PAYG, which could then result in a tax bill.
The aggregated PAYG calculation will automatically occur for any pay run that has the same period start and end dates as another pay run.
Important
Please note that PAYG aggregation does not include PAYG adjustments.
