Payroll disaggregated figures are different

HoneySandra

Hi all,

Just finalising STP and noticed something unusual on the EOFY Payroll Finalisation screen (where you tick the final indicator). The Gross amounts do not all match to the Payroll Register report due to the disaggregation. The Tax amounts all match correctly.

However, when I go into the individual employee verification report, some employee's leave payments are disaggregated correctly, and not part of the gross figures (which is how it's been in the past).

But other employees, who also took leave, have their amounts fully included in the Gross figure, but also correctly disaggregated on their individual summaries.

What could be the reason for not splitting up the leave for some employees and not others on the EOFY Finalisation screen?

Is it a setting I am missing? Does it matter anyway as long as the Paryoll Register figures are correct and the component splits are also correct??

Thank you.

Hello Princess,

I had a fresh look at everything and it seems that the allowances are not being shown in the gross figures, but I think that is normal. So the Leave amounts are all showing in the gross amounts, I got thrown off because it seemed a few employees with holiday pay were not being included but it was the allowances now I see.

Hi Princess,

The Leave categories are the same for everyone when it comes to the assigned ATO Reporting Category. They are all put under "Other paid Leave". They are mostly holiday leave, and some have it disaggregated to the Gross figure and others not. I did have to do a reversal for someone who was on holiday leave but need to change it to lsl so there was a pay reversal. My Register and Payroll activity reports all match. The breakdowns are correct but then the summary page (where there are the 3 dots near everyone's name) is different. Does it really matter???? I need to know exactly what to do to fix this and if it doesn't matter I won't waste any more time on this.

Hi @Jay9star,

That is a pretty chunky mismatch, so definitely worth narrowing down step by step. A good first check is the Payroll Register and Payroll Activity reports. If those two match, and the only one out of step is the YTD Verification Report, try sending an update event first. You can check this link for more info about how to fix reports mismatch.

Another handy one to compare is the Payroll Summary Report. If the YTD Verification Report doesn’t match the Payroll Summary Report, that can be because only wages reported as Gross Payments will show in the YTD Verification Report. You can head to the EOFY Finalisation tab and click the three dots against the employee’s name. That opens the Individual Summary Payments, which shows the breakdown of other pay items that aren’t reported as Gross Payments. If you add those to the Gross YTD in the Verification Report, everything should line up much more nicely.

Cheers,

Doreen

Hi @HoneySandra,

Good question! The EOFY/YTD view can look a bit different at first. What you’re seeing usually comes down to how the leave pay items are mapped to the ATO reporting categories. So if some employees’ leave is showing separately and others have it included in Gross, the first thing to check is whether those leave wage items have been assigned to different ATO reporting categories. From there, compare the individual summary report from the three dots menu with the YTD verification report. For more info, check out this link.

If you do make any changes to the reporting categories, just make sure you send an update event afterwards so the STP YTD figures refresh.

Cheers,

Princess
