Negative Super Payable after Pay Correction

Hi

One of my client's processed a pay run in December 2024 and the super for that pay run was paid in January 2025.

 

Later, they discovered there was a mistake in the pay.  To fix it:

  • The incorrect pay was reversed on the same date.
  • A new unscheduled pay run was processed on the same date as the original, with a reduced amount.  

This adjustment resulted in a negative superannuation payable, since the original (and higher) super had already been paid.

 

The employee has since left the company.  

 

To reflect this correctly in STP, I changed the "negative amount" from SGC to Additional Employer contribution.  See attachment.

 

However, this adjustment still shows as unpaid super in MYOB and my superannuation payable account is not reconciling. How can I fix this?

 

Thank you in advance.

    Hi Hanekom,

     

    Thanks a heap for the screenshot. To fix a negative super payable in MYOB. I suggest void the incorrect pay run. Process a new pay run with a positive super contribution for the affected employee to offset the negative. Confirm in Pay Superannuation and Pay Liabilities that the negative and positive entries net to the correct payable amount. You can check this link for more info about pay liabilities. If it still not reconciling after, reach out to our team directly on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via MyAccount. They can dive deeper into this and help you resolve the issue.


    Cheers,
