I had paid one staff member early last week for the prior week and to make my life easier I had planned to just do the payment now and then reflect that when doing payroll. I plan to do that by paying him the difference now and not use the usual aba file for this purpose. Good plan but it meant I had to do two payrolls today - one for the single staff member and one for the rest of the staff.
I did the single staff member first, reported via STP and then did a second payroll for the remaining 40 staff.
When checking on the listing of staff being paid, I had a mental freeze, noticing the special staff being shown
with "standard pay" , correctly not ticked but thinking I had forgotten him and amended this to the hours worked, completely missing out on the fact that I had previously run his payroll individually. I only noticed that once I lodged the bigger payroll file and was going through the payment part where he turned up twice.
No payments were made yet today but how do I adjust STP, ideally without having to completely reeenter 40 staff?
