Employee reimbursement through payroll

Hi, we used the below link to set up the reimbursement of an employee through payroll.


https://help.myob.com/wiki/display/myob/Reimbursing+an+employee#expand-2Createanewpayitem

 

The new pay item was created as per MYOB's instructions.  We chose the ATO reporting category "not reportable" as it is simply a reimbursement for an expense incurred by the employee. 

 

However, when running the payroll register report, the reimbursement has been incorrectly included in the gross salary & wages.   The reimbursement is not part of the employee's wages, it is simply a reimbursement.  For STP purposes however, it isn't being included in gross wages because of the not reportable selection.

 

The payroll register report and the employee's income statement do not match as a result.

 

Please help.

    Hi AJM1,

    Thank you for your post, and I appreciate your detailed information. I apologize for the issues you've been experiencing. Your patience and understanding regarding this matter are highly appreciated, and I apologize for any delay in our response.

    If your payroll register and Payroll activity reports don't match, it suggests that there may have been some manual adjustments made to the employee Pay History. This could be causing discrepancies in the YTD verification report, as it might be pulling incorrect amounts from the Pay History. To address this, we recommend restoring the Pay History to its original state. Any modifications or adjustments should be carried out using the "Create pay run" feature. After rectifying the Pay History, you can then send an update event to ensure that the YTD amounts in STP are accurate.

     

    More information on this is available on our Community Forum post MYOB Business payroll reports and STP explained

    Please do let me know how you go on this.
    Regards,
    Earl
