EOFY Single Touch Payroll Reporting Screen doesn't match reports

RhondaMP

I have run the payroll register report and the EOFY verification report to close off my payroll.

These reports balance but the Single Touch Payroll Reporting Screen is showing a different gross amount for one employee.

The employee was terminated on 24th April and then made inactive.

I paid out his unused leave on termination which has gone through to TERM A.

This figure is the figure that is missing from his gross on the reporting screen and it doesn't show him as terminated.

I've done an uipdate event but nothing has changed.

Should this screen show the same amounts as the two reports or do I not worry about it?

Hi @RhondaMP,

 

Thanks for checking in. The STP reporting screen won’t always match those figures line for line, especially if part of the payment has been reported under a different ATO reporting category, like TERM A instead of Gross Payments.

 

If you’ve already sent an update event and the YTD Verification report still matches your payroll reports, I wouldn’t be too worried about the reporting screen on its own. The main reports to check at finalisation are the Payroll Activity, Payroll Register, and YTD Verification reports, and if those all match, that’s a really good sign.

 

If ever the employee isn’t showing as terminated, it’s worth double-checking the Employee Terminations tab, as the termination details may not have fully gone through to the ATO. 

 

Cheers,

Princess
