Hi monsta76 

 

Thanks for your post. If you're deducting the $15 a week from their pay you can reduce those pay runs. This will also fix PAYG, super and STP. If they're repaying the amount into your bank account process separate negative pay runs for the amount their repaying. This will also fix PAYG, super and STP and you can match the negative pay with the bank feed.

 

As the pay run has been paid to the employee don't change the original pay run and send the STP report. You'll need to match the pay run with the bank feed. The pay run transactions should match what has happened in real life.

    Thanks Tracey,

     

    I ended up deleting the payrun for her and re-entered and made a separate account in MYOB for wgaes over payment. I will just allocate the $15 peer week to that each pay.

     

    I had to make a decision quickly as I needed to enter the pay.  I googled heaps and that seemed like the best solution. I hope it doesnt muck anything up. I am yet to report that payrun to the STP.

     

    But I appreciate your reply.
