EOFY STP Finalisation

I have sorted some of the problem that I had, buy making active terminated employees, and running a zero pay run for them, which now the Salary and Wages totals YTD agree, the tax is correct and always was but the Gross Payments total on the YTD verfication report doesnt agree with the Net Pay on the Payroll register report. I thought it should but maybe it doesnt matter. Can anyone clarify for me?

Thanks

  • Hi discoverybay

     

    Thanks for the update. Does the Payroll Activity and Payroll Register reports match in AccountRight?

     

    • If they DON'T, this generally indicates that a manual adjustment has been made in Pay History in the employee card. If this is the case, you will need to change the Pay History back to what it was and process any changes/adjustments through Process Payroll. Then process a $0 pay to update STP.

     

    • If they DO, this generally indicates that the issue is being caused by ATO reporting categories that have not been assigned correctly or by payroll categories that have exempted from PAYG Withholding in error. Follow these steps to find and fix the issues:
    1. Run the Payroll Activity Detail report to narrow down which payroll categories are causing the problem.
    2. Check that the correct ATO reporting category has been assigned. Change the ATO reporting category as required.
    3. Check if the payroll category has been ticked exempt from PAYG in error (Payroll Categories>>open the category>>click on the Exempt button). Untick PAYG Withholding and click Ok.
    4. Once you have made the necessary changes to the payroll category, send an update event to update STP.

     

    Do let me know how you go.
