# Combine Wages for 2 or more PWDs (PAYG / Tax)

When you employ a support worker directly and they work for 2 or more PWDs.

When you employ a support worker directly and they do work for 2 or more PWDs over one pay period, you need to split their time and cost over 2 funding plans but need to pay them with one payslip to correctly calculate PAYG Tax and Super details.

1.  **Go to menu item “More - Family Settings” then “Superannuation and Tax” section, then find the switch to turn on the combined wages option on the Payments screen.**
