reversed a pay run -STP in ATO

Hi all,

I have two questions.

1. I reversed a pay run. The STP report is accepted by ATO, however, the reversed gross wages and PAYG tax amount were not recorded in the wages amount and tax amount when I lodged the IAS. ATO told me to check with MYOB. I am calling MYOB and is on hold for a very long time. Can anyone help?

2. When a prior casual employee comes back to work, do I "undo" the employment termination two years ago? It looks like this employee continues working in this business. Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Lily

    1. If you intended to reverse the pay & you had already lodged the corresponding Activity Statement then the Activity Statement is incorrect. You should redo your wage reports to confirm and then go ahead an revise the Activity Statement with the correct wage figures.

     

    2. It is bad practice to recycle terminated employee's cards. You should create a new card for the period of employement.

    Hi, Lily2021 

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    For your first question, if the gross wages and PAYG amounts were not showing up when you lodged the IAS, as mentioned by Freman, kindly redo the wage reports and then revise the Activity Statement with the correct wage figures.

     

    Regarding the second question, as mentioned by Freman, you can create a new card file for this employee if they will not be using the same super as per their existing card file. However, if they will be using the same super, we recommend removing the termination date only from the employee's card file. To remove the termination date, kindly go to Card File > Cards List > Employees tab, select the employee name, > Click Payroll Details, and then clear the termination date. Once done, click OK.

     

    Please let us know if you require any further assistance with this. We are happy to assist.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

    "we recommend removing the termination date only from the employee's card file" = You now have an employee card in MYOB that does not correctly reflect the actual employment history.

    Hi ,Doreen_P and Freman ,

    Thank you for your help.

    Q1: I will give it a try. Thank you. 

    Q2: there are two steps required to open the prior employee card.

    Step 1: As Doreen_P metioned , clear the prior termination date in the MYOB employee card. Step 2: We need to cancel the termination in the STP reporting area. ( Step 1 action result is not showing in the STP report fo some reason.) 

    If I don't creat new card, I lost track of the employee start dates in the card file but I can check the timesheet or Payroll advice to find it. If I create a new card for the employee, there would be 2,3 or more cards for the same person.  When you check the employment history of the person you need to research all the cards.
    Or maybe better to keep the same card open. I am wondering if MYOB technician could creat a date track function for the same card.

    Kind regards,
    Lily

    Hi, Lily2021 

     

    Thanks for your response. 

     

    Since the employee card file is no longer active, kindly activate the card file so that it will show up again. Also, before removing the termination date, you can keep a record of the prior start date and end of the employee. The feature regarding the date track function for the same employee card is not yet available. 

     

    Please let us know how it goes on your end. We are delighted to assist you.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen
