Duplicated Payroll for one staff

[TomD]

I had paid one staff member early last week for the prior week and to make my life easier I had planned to just do the payment now and then reflect that when doing payroll.  I plan to do that by paying him the difference now and not use the usual aba file for this purpose. Good plan but it meant I had to do two payrolls today - one for the single staff member and one for the rest of the staff. 

I did the single staff member first, reported via STP and then did a second payroll for the remaining 40 staff. 

When checking on the listing of staff being paid, I had a mental freeze, noticing the special staff being shown 

with "standard pay" , correctly not ticked but thinking I had forgotten him and amended this to the hours worked, completely missing out on the fact that I had previously run his payroll individually.  I only noticed that once I lodged the bigger payroll file and was going through the payment part where he turned up twice.

No payments were made yet today but how do I adjust STP, ideally without having to completely reeenter 40 staff?

Hi @TomD,

Thank you for your post. 

You will only need to reverse the duplicate pay for the affected employee, this reversal is then recorded and sent to the ATO - adjusting STP accordingly and the other employees will remain unaffected. 

The below link will contain instructions on how to complete a reversal and report it to the ATO:

Hi Sam,

thank you very much for the link and advise. I was a bit panicky yesterday and this looks clear enough. 

One follow up question relating to the other query posted separately

https://community.myob.com/t5/AccountRight-Staffing-and/How-to-reissue-an-aba-file-for-payroll/td-p/...

- as I was unsure how to proceed when

running the full payroll, I did not complete the process with the generation of the aba file for banking. 

Is there a way to generate now to avoid having to manually enter all payment details?  

Just to be clear, I do have the Payroll Advice Report, lodgement with the ATO has been done but I never did the aba file for online banking.
