Incorrect Payroll workers comp

[Koyote]

Hello,

I have processed and reported a number of pays for an employee on Workers Comp and now know that the pays should not have included superannuation or payroll tax, and the payroll category used was incorrect. How do i fix this? Do i need to reverse all the pays and re-enter? If yes is there an easy way of completing this when there are a number of pays to be fixed?

Also will we then get negative figures included in PAYGwithholding and Super reporting this month, that will balance out the previous months payments?

Cheers

Hi @Koyote,

Thanks for your post.

The best and cleanest way to resolve this would be to reverse each incorrect pay and then re-process them correctly. By doing this, the negative pay run (reversal) will offset the original (incorrect) pay run and balance each other out - not affecting any accounts or reports, however, recorded in your file for STP/ATO audit purposes. Please feel free to use the below link as a guide for this process:
