Hi @Mozzie1,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, you can. You will just need to make sure you remove this employee's finalisation in STP beforehand so that the ATO can update the employee's YTD summaries. Once you have done this and entered the missing pay, you can go ahead and re-finalise so that the ATO knows there are no other changes to be made. I will leave a link below that goes over the process of unfinalising and re-finalising employees with Single Touch Payroll:
