EOFY Payroll Finalisation - incorrect amount for one employee

One employee on the first pay run of July 2022 looks correct on payroll advice but on the register it is showing like a negative 25,000. This negative balance continues through the whole financial year, hence YTD reported to the ATO is that $25,000 less than it should be. How do I fix or even find out why this happened.

 

Another question, when reporting unused leave upon resignation to the ATO, is the wage category 'unused leave on termination' or Lump Sum A on termination

  • Hi KerryGee 

     

    This has been reported in previous posts - MYOB are not sure (or won't say) what has caused this. The suggested solution was to delete that negative pay (or perhaps remove it from Pay History on employee's card). Ensure the YTD amount for the employee in Payroll Register Summary YTD report is correct then lodge and Update Event to fix it at the ATO.

     

    With regard to unused leave on termination, for some employees it will be Lump Sum A, for others it will be Unused leave on termination. Depends on period the leave relates to and type of leave etc, rules can be complex. Suggest you get advice on this from your accountant or tax adviser as it depends on a number of factors.

    When I go the payroll history the month of July 22 has negative gross and tax amounts. Do I just change this to what it should be in the history and then send update to the ATO?

    Hi KerryGee 

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    You can change or correct the amount on pay history and send an update event on Single touch payroll reporting. After doing this, check your YTD verification report if it's updated.
