Creating Pay Items

From Wageloch Wiki

Pay Item Creation

Your timesheet columns created in back end of Wageloch will determine the availability of the pay items you can create.

  • Click the Settings cog, top right
  • Select Payroll >> Payroll Mappings
  • You'll be presented with a screen that shows you: Timesheet Column, Factor, ATO Category, Type, Payslip Text, Super and PAYGW.


Lets look into these a bit further.

Timesheet Column

Timesheet column is the name that we've given to this item in the award build. This is what will be visible in your reports in Wageloch when running Timesheet, Job Costing or other similar reports in the main Rostering, Time and Attendance system.

To access the setup relating to the other columns in your Payroll Mappings, click the Screenshot 2025-08-19 182614.png Edit icon on the left side.

Factor

When initially building your award, your implementation manager will request for this information, and how you wish to calculate the pays.

This will either be a multiplier of a rate (1.0x, 1.5x, etc.) or a fixed dollar rate ($1.00, $13.45, etc).

Tip: You can tick Manage my own award rates and factors to update and control these yourself, instead of requiring Helpdesk to update these for you!

ATO Category and Types
