This guide outlines how to adjust Superannuation Contribution accrual amounts via an unscheduled pay run, to correct overstate contributions. 

Step 1: Create an Unscheduled Pay Run

To set up a pay run and adjust SG contributions:

1. Navigate to Payroll > Pay employees. 
2. Remove any existing draft pay runs for the periods you need to adjust (only one pay run can exist for each pay period).
3. Click Add Pay Run
4. From Select a pay period, choose Unscheduled pay run
   
5. Select the pay frequency and pay period that require adjustment
6. Click Next.
7. Select Included for each employee needing an adjustment, or click Include All to add all employees.

You're now ready to adjust the SG contributions for the affected employees.

Step 2: Adjust SG contributions

1. In the unscheduled pay run, click on the name of each employee whose SG contributions need adjustment. 
2. Remove any irrelevant earnings, deduction and reimbursement lines from the payslip.
3. Under Superannuation Fund, adjust the existing superannuation line:
   • Select the relevant superannuation fund.
   • Choose Superannuation Guarantee Contribution (SGC) as the contribution type.
   • Update Calculation Type to Percentage of Earnings.
   • Click OK.
4. For the same superannuation line, in the Percentage field, enter zero.
5. Add a new Superannuation line:
   • Click Add Superannuation Line
   • Select the relevant superannuation fund.
   • Choose Superannuation Guarantee Contribution (SGC) as the contribution type.
   • Update Calculation Type to Fixed Amount.
   • Click OK.
6. For the newly added superannuation line, enter the adjustment amount as a negative in the Amount field.
7. Save the payslip.
8. Repeat the process for all employees needing adjustments.
9. Post the pay run once all adjustments are complete. 

The negative amounts will appear in the Superannuation Accruals Report, reducing the liability for each employee.
