YTD Verification Report Not Picking Up a Wage Pay Adjustment Category

[QC1]

Hi,

I have posted a back pay adjustment under the "Pay Adjust" wage category which forms part of Gross Payments for ATO.

The Payroll Summary report, Payroll register report, Pay run history report shows the correct total by including the Pay Adj amount however YTD Verification Report and hence the employee's Payment Summary is not picking up this Pay adjust figure. I have tried to reverse the Pay Adj payroll transaction and re-entered it to update the STP however the employee's Payment Summary still does not pick this figure up and is understated by this pay adjustment. How do I include this pay adjustment on the Payment Summary?

Hi @QC1 

Thanks for your post and Welcome to MYOB Community Forum.

Since the pay adjustment is showing in the Payroll Summary report, Payroll Register and Activity Summary report but not in the YTD Verification report and Payment Summary, I would highly suggest to check how Pay Adjust wage category has been set up. Also check the ATO Reporting Category. Lastly, please send an update event to make sure the ATO will receive the up to date figures of your employee. See The Help Article End of year finalisation with Single Touch Payroll reporting for the steps on how to send an update event.

Please let me know how it goes.

Best regards,

Doreen

Hi Doreen,

The pay adjust has already been set up to be included in gross payments. I have previously posted other pay adjustments to this pay adjust account for same employee and it updated YTD Verification report okay. Why should this one payrun transaction not update YTD verification report?

Is this a bug in MYOB?

Should I delete the Pay Adjust category and use another category?

I don't think it's a case of the pay adjust category been set up incorrectly. Why would the pay adjust category update the YTD verification report for 1 payrun and not update for another pay run for same employee?
