Payroll didn't deduct PAYG from one employee

[Robyn3]

PAYG withholding inadvertently added amount to one of our employees net pay when it should have deducted it.  How do I recitfy this as I have already sent it to ATO via Single Touch Payroll.

Hi @Robyn3 

Thanks for your post. As STP updates the Year-to-date (YTD) amounts each time you send a report, with each report overriding the previous one, you only need to correct the error in AccountRight. When you declare the correction pay, the YTD amounts will be updated and corrected in STP.

You can check that the YTD amounts sent to the ATO are correct by downloading the report for the last report sent and reconciling that with your MYOB reports. To download that report go to the Payroll Reporting Centre, click on the ... button next to the last report and select Download Report.
