🎯 The reporting of payments for Overtime Bonuses are now disaggregated per the Australian Taxation Office Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 guidance. Rather than being included in Gross, Overtime Bonus is now reported separately under Overtime.
🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from either the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.
Overtime Bonus is applicable when the Payee is being paid a bonus related to Performance outside regular (overtime) hours, which needs to be taxed over the entire Financial Year.
Overtime Bonus uses the $ (or % of Rate Per Hour) set within the Pay Rate and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. Payments with this pay type are considered W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments) and Taxable, however, they are not Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
