EOFY Payroll Categories

Question

Hi. I checked the balances of the EOFY STP Verification Report matched before starting to run payroll in the new FY ... however I did not look closely at each Employee

Now that I am finalising the Payment Summaries, I have discovered an incorrect category was used for one employee - not sure when the category was changed, as when I made the payment by in March, it was correct!!

I have finalised All other Employees and advised ATO that this particular Employee is not finalised ... BUT how do I now change the Payroll Category?

I am unable to Reverse the Pay as we have processed payrolls in the new FY

I have tried (without success) to make contact with ATO Small Business Line

Thank You

Hi @BOFAccounts,

Great job finalising the rest, legend! For this one, just check when the wrong payroll category was used. Then, run a new pay for that employee with the same dates, enter a negative for the incorrect category, and add the correct amount to the right one. Make sure net pay, leave, and super are all zero. Record that pay run, then send an update event so that the amount are reported to ATO under the correct payroll category.

Cheers,

Shella
