STP Finalisation - Salary Sacrifice Type O

Question

Hello all,

We uses a third party service for salary sacrifice arrangements (exc Super). When an employee leaves the organisation - it takes awhile for the third party service to reconcile their end, and provide a refund to us to pass on to employee.

Once we receive this refund, we then process a Salary Sacrifice Reversal (Salary Sacrifice - other employee benefits) via payrun, and it calculates PAYG.

I have now started checking our STP Payroll Verification report against MYOB reports and the only variance I have is this STP category - Salary Sacrifice - other employee benefits.

Digging further, there is a period where we have received a refund or adjustment on Salary Sacrifice for terminated employees from previous financial year.

Because these employees do not have Gross Wages to report as they did not work this FY - this is not showing up in the STP Payroll Verification Report.

For other adjustments that we processed through-out the year - they are all matching. Really these 4 employees who have not worked this FY is the variance.

May I please request your assistance?

Thank you,

PJ

Thank you Princess.

I have tried this but its still not showing. I have one employee that is even an active employee - but have a negative Salary Sacrifice amount due to a reversal/adjustment that is processed in FY25/26.

Currently I have 4 employee that is not showing up - and they all have Salary Sacrifice Adjustments/Reversals processed in FY25/26. The individual pay summary in STP Finalisation section - this show the correct amount of Sal Sac. However, in the breakdown of YTD Verification report - these are excluded in the total.

Hi P_J,

Thanks for checking that section. If you’re seeing a difference from the reports, it’s usually because those terminated employees didn’t work in this financial year.

To get those Salary Sacrifice amounts showing correctly, you’ll need to undo the termination, make the employee active again, and send an update event. Once the figures are showing properly, you can terminate them again.

Cheers,

Princess

Hello Sai,

Thank you for your response.

I have taken time to check all Salary Sacrifice - from individual's summary and they are all matching my records. The only amount that is not matching is the total amount of Salary Sacrifice - Other in Payroll YTD Verification Report in STP.

Thanks,

PJ
