Payslip Types

Normal Pay

A normal pay is the normal payment an employee receives each pay period. It includes their salary or wages, plus any penalty payments, allowances and expenses. A normal pay can be created manually, by adding a new payslips to the pay calculation screen, or automatically using the open new period process.

There can only be one normal pay per payee per pay period.

Kwik-Pay calculates tax and other statutory deductions automatically when any change is made to a normal payslip.

Adjustment Pay

An adjustment payslip is intended to be used for the entry of manual payments outside Kwik-Pay. You use an adjustment payslip to enter year to date totals for payees if you are starting to use Kwik-Pay mid tax year, or if you want to bring Kwik-pay's totals up to date with a manual payment made outside Kwik-Pay to a payee.

There can be any number number of adjustment payslips per payee per pay period, and each one must be added manually using the pay calculation screen. To add additional adjustment payslips, you must increment the payslip sequence number on the pay calculation screen for each additional one.

Kwik-Pay does not calculate tax or any other statutory deductions automatically for adjustment payslips. You must add a 'PAYE adjustment' deduction to the payslips, with the amount of tax deducted.

Supplementary Pay

An supplementary payslip is a second or subsequent pay to a payee in a pay period after a normal pay has been processed. You might use a supplementary payslips to pay for overtime or some other payment that was not known about when their normal pay was processed.

There can be any number number of supplementary payslips per payee per pay period, and each one must be added manually using the pay calculation screen. To add additional supplementary payslips, you must increment the payslip sequence number on the pay calculation screen for each additional one.

Kwik-Pay does calculate tax and any other statutory deductions automatically for supplementary payslips. It does so by calculating the taxable gross as the sum of the taxable gross of the normal pay, plus all supplementary payslips in the pay period, calculating the tax on the total, and then subtracting the total of tax included on the normal payslips plus all other supplementary payslips in the pay period.
