Why do I get $0.00

Hi, why do i get $0.00 Gross Payment someties after I run a payroll?

The pays are in the general ledger... eg pays 3/5, $0.00 above, but they're in Wages below??

 

  • Hi DTull 

     

    This usually happens when the STP Report is lodged as an Update rather than as a Pay Event. With an Update, no employer W1 (gross) W2 (PAYG) is reported for the period as it should have already been reported as a Pay Event. And Update should only be used when corrected previously lodged reports.

     

    If you lodge the report on a date different to when it was processed, MYOB defaults to reporting as an Update. 

     

    The Employee YTD data will be correctly reported (and this is the important bit). The missing W1 and W2 amounts will mean the Activity Statement Pre-fill amounts will be incorrect and you will need to override with correct amounts when lodging your activity statement.

      Thanks for the reply Gavin, tho I do the pays the same way every time. I dont know what a Pay Update is!

      I always lodge on the same day as processed. The pay fortnight ends on a friday, pays are done the following monday when all timesheets are in. Its always the same. Why has it worked previously if I always do it the same?

      Thanks again for your help
