----------------------------------------------------------- Section A. Describe what the issue is about. Include Error Message (and screenshots (600px x 800px 100kb max size) PAYE was deducted incorrectly for employees when the first fortnightly pay in 2023 was created as of 15/01/2023. Expected PAYE was $138.46. The system deducted PAYE of $250.30.
Section B. Relevant History Information: Any information relevant to this issue.
The issue has been reproduced on https://linktechnologies.com.au/DEMO-LinkSOFT-LBS/ . Company Name: Link Technologies - Demo
Section C. The issue can be reproduced by performing the following steps: - Setup and employee E1113 with a Salary of $50,000 / annum
- This employee does not have any allowance or deductions nor does this employee have any previous employment details.
- Created the first Normal pay in the year 2023 for Pay Team FTN. Pay Date 15/01/2023
- PAYE that should have been deducted $138.46. Below is the cumulative formula
Annual Gross: $50000
Annual PAYE: $3600 (Using the tax table)
No of Pays in Year: 26
PAYE Per Pay: $3600/26 = $138.46
PayNo: 1
Previous PAYE: $0
PAYE this Pay: (1 x 138.46) = 138.46

| Hi Vineet, The issue here is that the "Pay Run Date" of the 15th is considered the second pay of the year. For Fortnightly, you would need a Pay Run date of 14th Jan 2023 so the system knows that there is no History Pay to allow for. I have changed the Pay Team Pay Run Date to the 14th in your environment and calculated the Tax. See figure 1 below. Figure 1 - Tax Calculation for fortnightly for 1st Pay
 Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. |

| Hi Sanjay Your comments are noted. However, previously this was being handled differently. Below is how the system would calculate. From the 1st pay run date of the year, for fortnightly, the system would add 14 days until the end of the year to get the number of pay. Figure 1.1: No of pay calculation up to version 11 
Secondly, when the Tax Reconciliation Report (Fiji PAYE >= 2013) is executed, it still shows PayNo as 1. This was previously calculated so in this case it should show 2 so consultants know what the issue here is

| Hi Vineet, Notes below: - The 1st pay for the year is calculated from the Year Start date and is within the first 14 days.
- The Pay number comes from the Pay Teams and is user defined
The 15th of Jan 2023 is not within the first fortnight, which means we have to either use "14-day intervals from Year Start", or "Calculate the number of previous pays". Maybe this can be a rule or configuration. I'll check what we did previously in Version 13.
