FAQs - Payment Summary Specific

How do I obtain my payment summary (formerly known as group certificate)?

Payment summaries are generally available by the first week in July.  An all staff email will be sent out by HR to advise when they are available each year.

For staff who access payslips via HR online payment summaries can be accessed as follows;-

  1. Log on to HR Online at https://guard.canberra.edu.au/wss-v12/faces/app/WJ0000.jspx
  2. Click on the My Pay tab.
  3. Click Payroll Details from the left hand side second tier menu (blue ribbon)
  4. Click Payment Summary.
  5. Click the hyperlink number in the Serial# column.
  6. Print to a secure printer.

HR has lodged Payment Summary details electronically with the Australian Tax Office (ATO) enabling staff who submit their tax return via e-Tax to complete their online application from 1 July 2011. There is more information on how to use HR Online at http://www.canberra.edu.au/hr/faq

 

Staff who have left UC or casual staff who do not have HR Online access will receive a copy of their payment summary in the mail. If you have not received your payment summary by 14th July, please email payroll@canberra.edu.au stating:

  • Your full name
  • Staff number
  • Date of Birth
  • and a request that a copy be posted or emailed.

Historical payment summaries are also available.

 

Why are the gross earnings on my payment summary different to my payslip year to date?

Salary sacrifice reduces taxable salary and will therefore reduce the gross payment that is reportable on payment summaries.

If you have salary sacrificed your superannuation or other items (such as a novated lease), your payment summary gross amount will not be the same as your year to date earnings.  The taxable amount is reported on your payment summary.

 

What are reportable employer superannuation contributions?

 

Reportable super contributions are any super contributions that your employer makes for you. Including:

  1. Contributions made under a salary sacrifice agreement.
  2. Additional amounts paid to an employee's super fund (for example, an annual bonus paid to super).
  3. An employee negotiating for increased superannuation contributions as a part of their salary package (for example, under individual employment contracts).

Superannuation contributions made from after-tax income are not reportable employer super contributions.

 

How reportable super contributions affect you

 

Reportable super contributions will affect the income tests for some tax offsets, deductions, concessions, the Medicare levy surcharge, and certain government benefits and obligations.

You do not include reportable super contributions in your assessable income. However, you add them back into your income to work out if you meet the income tests for the benefits, concessions and obligations such as:

  • the Medicare levy surcharge threshold calculation 
  •  the Medicare levy surcharge (lump sum payment in arrears) tax offset
  • all dependent tax offsets
  •  the senior Australian tax offset
  •  the pensioner tax offset
  • the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) and Student Financial Supplement Scheme (SFSS) repayments
  • deducting your non-commercial business losses
  •  income tax concessions available to participants in certain employee share schemes
  • the entrepreneurs' tax offset.
  • the mature age worker tax offset
  • the spouse super contributions tax offset
  • super co-contributions
  • deductions for personal super contributions
