Step 6
Updating or Adding a pay distribution

Once you have successfully added a new bank account details, you can create a pay distribution instruction. This is to tell the system how your salary should be deposited in the new account.

Step 7
Pay distribution instructions terminology

Chose the relevant bank account from the drop down list 

• Default election: You may have to specify instructions for each valid Payroll Type available to you.  To use this distribution as the default for all Payroll Types, select the “Default Election” option.
• Primary Account: the account where all remaining pay goes into. At least one account is set as the primary account. Example: X is paid $500 each fortnight and he has 2 pay distributions, one for his mortgage with an amount of $300 per fortnight.$300 will go to the account for the mortgage and $200 will go to the primary account.
• Accept Partial Payment: ticking this checkbox means if the full amount you are requesting is not available, you accept for the lesser amount to be paid into the account. Using same example as above, let’s say for some reason (e.g. leave without pay) in one fortnight, X is only paid $200 and this is less than his nominated$300 for the account for the mortgage. Had X ticked this checkbox, system will pay$200 into the account for the mortgage and nothing in the primary account. Had X not ticked this checkbox, nothing will be paid in the account for the mortgage and$200 will go to the primary account.
• Priority/Instance Number: this determines the priority of the distributions. The lowest instance number wins then moves onto the next and so forth. Your primary account does not form part of the instance processing priority. For example, if X has 3 distributions and instance number 1 is his primary account, system will process instance number 2 then 3 in that order and the last transaction would be against 1.
