Summary

There are two ways to derive a transaction total using this calculation method, depending on the option selected in the Using field of the Breaks tab page in the allowance:

• Super Gross
• Ordinary Super

Allowance types

Use this allowance calculation method with the following allowance types:

A. Allowance

H. Hourly

Super Gross method

Super Gross:

The accumulation of historical and current transactions where the allowance has the Use in Super Calculations field in the Details (iii) tab page set to Yes.

The transaction total is calculated by:

(Quantity * Rate) / 100

Quantity:

The quantity from the super gross for the 'Super PTD' date range that the pay sequence falls into.

Rate:

From the Breaks defined in the allowance. The rate amount comes from the the quantity which is between any of the 'From' and 'To' ranges.

Generally rate code '0' and a rate unit is used for this transaction.

Ordinary Super method

Basically the same as super gross except that the calculations split off into two components:

• Ordinary totals
• Non-ordinary totals

The transaction total is calculated by:

1. Calculate the Ordinary Quantity. Ordinary quantity is the Ordinary Super Gross for the 'Super PTD' date range that the pay sequence falls into.
2. Calculate the Rate using the breaks defined in the allowance. If the quantity is between any of the 'From' and 'To' ranges, this will define the rate 'Amount' that will be used. Generally rate code '0' and a rate unit would be used for this transaction.
3. Calculate the Ordinary Transaction Total:

   (Quantity * Rate) / 100

4. Adjust the Ordinary Transaction Total:

   Ordinary Transaction Total - Ordinary Super Gross already paid this Super Period to Date

5. Calculate the Non-Ordinary Quantity by accumulating the Quantity from the Non-Ordinary Super Gross for the 'Super PTD' date range that the pay sequence falls into.
6. Calculate the Rate using the allowance breaks 'Amt' column.
7. Calculate the Super Transaction Total using:

   (Quantity * Rate) / 100

8. Adjust the Transaction Total:

   Transaction Total + Ordinary Transaction Total

9. Adjust the Transaction Total:

   Ordinary Quantity + Non-Ordinary Quantity

Ordinary Super Gross

The accumulation of historical and current transactions when the allowance has:

• Use in Super Calculation = Yes
• Ordinary = Yes

Non-Ordinary Super Gross

The accumulation of historical and current transactions when the allowance has:

• Use in Super Calculation - Yes
• Ordinary - No
