SAFT Fund Benefit through payroll

SOLVED

Sorry, I'm not a guru payroll administrator, but I would just like to clarify my thoughts Slight smile

What is the correct way of dealing with the SAFT benefits to monthly employees through the payroll...? For instance, with April 2020 salaries:

i.)   is the Basic Salary reduced with the total of SAFT Funds received by the employee until 30 April;
ii.)  this total SAFT received included under Income code 5026 (in Pastel payroll) - non taxable income code (I presume);
iii.) this total SAFT received then deducted as an advance (8095), as it has been received already...?

I presume that this would be the same for the TERS benefit too...? 

So if I understand correctly, that whatever the employer can pay to the employee additionally to what he/she receives from SAFT and/or TERS, is taxable, and included under for example 'Basic' salary code (5000) for the month...?

Thanks Slight smile
