If you are eligible for the JobKeeper extension, you will need to identify which employees are going to be paid Tier 1 or Tier 2.  This is done through the creation of an allowance code on the Payroll Payment and Deduction Codes parameter.

Step-by-step guide

1. First create the two JobKeeper Tier allowance codes via MenuBar > Parameters > Set Parameters > Payroll > Payroll Payment and Deduction Codes (PC). 
   The description of the Allowance Codes must be the same as that described below and any deviation may cause significant delay or prevent reimbursement.
   
   Tier 1

   Field	Description
   Payroll Code	AJKT1
   Description	JK-TIER1
   Normal Pay?	Untick
   Scale Factor	0
   Flat Rate/Amount	0
   After Tax?	Untick
   Exclude from EGS	Untick
   Exclude on PAYG	Untick
   Payee ID	Leave Blank
   Allowance Code	Other
   Super Fund Manager	Leave Blank
   Visible	Tick

   
   
   
   

   Tier 2

   Field	Description
   Payroll Code	AJKT2
   Description	JK-TIER2
   Normal Pay?	Untick
   Scale Factor	0
   Flat Rate/Amount	0

2. For each of your eligible employees, enter an Adjustment Pay Run, assigning an Allowance Code of the appropriate Tier code with an amount of $0.00 and lodge with the ATO.  This is similar to the steps when you nominated your Start Fortnight.
   
   
3. Once you have assigned the JobKeeper Tiers to all eligible employees, select Audit Payroll Transactions > Audit Pays. 
   
   
4. You will process your pays as per normal using the JobKeeper Top Up allowance to the relevant amount of the selected Tier.
