Pay Run
Select bills to pay and export an ABA file
This page exports creditor bill payments only (ABA format).
Wage calculation — including Hospitality Industry Award penalty rates (Saturday 125%, Sunday 150%, Public Holiday 225%) — is not automated in SAE Books v1. Wages must be calculated externally and posted as journal entries.
Recommended workflow for casual/award staff:
- Calculate gross wages and penalty loadings in an external payroll tool (e.g. Tanda, Guidepoint, or the Fair Work Pay Calculator).
- Deduct PAYG withholding and superannuation per your payroll run.
- Post the net wages, PAYG, and super as a journal entry in SAE Books (Dr Wages Expense / Cr Bank / Cr PAYG Payable / Cr Super Payable).
Full payroll automation (STP Phase 2, Award rate engine) is on the roadmap for a future release.
