Accumulator Configuration

Navigation: Pay | Payroll Transaction Configuration

Accumulators track payroll totals for reporting and calculations

An accumulator is a running total of a pre-defined category of data. That data may be in money or hours.

These data categories feed calculations for other transactions that depend on them.

Jemini stores accumulator data against transactions that relate to points in time. This means amounts can be queried at any timeframe.

You connect a transaction to an accumulator through the transaction’s applicability.

Accumulators collect transaction amounts and calculation results

Accumulators use the money or hours data from the transactions that reference them. Accumulators also store the results from calculations Jemini performs.

Calculation rules use these accumulators to work out tax amounts, leave entitlement, net pay, and other payroll calculations.

Each transaction creates its own accumulator plus any required ones

Most accumulators already exist in Jemini, but when you create a transaction, it also creates an accumulator for itself.

Accumulators by Transaction Type

Below is the list of accumulators by transaction type for both Australia and New Zealand, Australia only, and New Zealand only. The table indicates in green whether the accumulator is:

Included by default: Jemini will automatically add these to the transaction. You can remove them if necessary.
Must be included: Jemini will automatically add these to the transaction. You can’t remove them.
Subtracts from total: Deducts the accumulated amount from the total amount (rather than adds to it).

TIP
FBT Accumulators for RFBA transactions: When you set up an RFBA (Reportable Fringe Benefit Amount) non-paying transaction, you must select either Taxable FBT or Exempt FBT — not both. Jemini uses these accumulators to report fringe benefits to the ATO under the correct STP status code (T for taxable, X for exempt).
