    Hi BellePayroll,

     

    Thank you for your post and so great to hear you're enjoying this Community Forum, we're happy to have you here!

     

    In regards to your query, the ATO states that you must declare STP reports before, or on, the date of payment - this is why the report will be rejected. However, due to the nature of your pay run ($0) being a leave accrual adjustment, it does not contribute to any employee's YTD ($) summaries, therefore, you do not need to correct this (as it does not relate directly to STP Pay Summaries). 

     

    In another circumstance I would advise you to reverse the pay run and process it according to the ATO rules, as you cannot change the date of an existing pay run - it will need to be reversed and reprocessed. 

     

    If you have any further queries on this, please do let me know!
