How do I add a Medical Aid dependant onto an employee's record?
This feature is available on all PaySpace editions.
The Employee Dependants screen stores next of kin information as well as medical aid dependants. Medical Aid dependants are captured on the payroll, so that the Medical Tax Credits can be deducted from the affected employee's tax calculation, which reduces the amount of normal tax they pay over to SARS.
An employee's dependants can be added to their profile on the Dependants screen. Select the "+ Dependant" button to add a new dependant.
Navigate > Employee > Basic Information > Dependants
The list of dependants will reflect on the screen when saved.
This is one of the screens that can be completed (but also skipped) in the workflow when creating a new employee.
