Payroll Reporting YTD Verification Report not agreeing to Payroll Sumamry

[FRC]

We have paid an employee a commencement bonus which does not appear to be included in the Total Salaries and Wages figure in the verification report.

It is a new category this year and is assigned to ATO Reporting Category "Bonuses and Commissions". 

Does anyone know why is is not being added in?

Hi @FRC 

Thanks for your post. YTD amounts are reported to the ATO through STP according to the ATO reporting category assigned to the pay item. In Phase 2, the ATO have added more ATO reporting categories so amounts that were included in Gross payments in Phase 1 will be reported separately in Phase 2.

The post, What's different in STP Phase 2 reporting, has more information on this.

Please let me know if you need further help.
