Introduction

This topic describes how to manage recurring deductions from employee pays through the salary packaging module.

A salary sacrifice arrangement is also commonly referred to as salary packaging or total remuneration packaging. It is an arrangement between an employer and an employee, where the employee agrees to forgo part of their future entitlement to salary or wages in return for the employer providing them with benefits of a similar value.

Ready pay (powered by ePayroll) provides an easy way to manage employee Salary Packaging through the Salary Packaging module.
