You must enter additional details on the Create Final Pay form to ensure that the pay is correct. Only the pay periods, pax periods, and final pay default lines apply to New Zealand.
If the employee was employed:
Normal gross earnings are taken from the employee's pay based on several options. The accumulator and setting from the Normal Gross Earnings section of the Tax Config tab on the Employee Maintenance form calculate the normal gross earnings. The Last Pay option takes the normal gross earning to the pay transaction types that are included in the accumulator that is selected for the last paid pay.
If you change the option to Average for year, you get the average for the last financial year. This is used when the pay fluctuates significantly over a number of pay periods. You can change the last pay or average for year setting on the Config tab on the Employee Maintenance form.
The accumulator used for the calculation of normal gross earnings should include all payments, except those for termination payments, received in the last full period of employment. This includes taxable allowances, overtime, bonuses and the like. A payee's normal gross earnings are those earnings for the last full pay period worked.
Note: You should thoroughly check all calculations, leave accruals and payouts for all terminations.
