STTP2 error codes

Question

Recently changed to STP -2 and when I check payroll details, it says all is fine and good to go.

However, when I lodge a payroll, I get the following 2 error messages and can't work out how to fix them so the report gets accepted.without errors (i have changed the employees name for privacy)

Error
John Smith - AllowanceCollection[0] Error: Allowance Items must be left blank (ATO error code: CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000302)

Error
John Smith - OvertimePayment Error: Overtime Amount must be left blank (ATO error code: CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000361)

can anyone help or is there a list of all the error messages and solutions somewhere? I'm sure it's something simple that needs changing

Thanks

Katie

Hi&nbsp;KateB2012&nbsp;&nbsp;According to the ATO:&nbsp;Under Income Type - Salary and WagesLabour-Hire - if a SAW payee is engaged by a Labour Hire business as anemployee under a labour-hire arrangement, then payments are to be reported asSalary and Wages income. However, if a SAW payee is engaged by a Labour Hirebusiness as an independent contractor, that must be reported as Labour Hireincome.&nbsp;This income type allows for allowances and overtime&nbsp;Under Income Type - Labour HireDefinition – payments by a business that arranges for persons to perform work orservices, or performances, directly for clients of the entity.• Payees – contractors only, not employees&nbsp;This income type prohibits allowances and overtime.&nbsp;The question seems to be are the people employed as employees of your firm or as independent contractors - you should discuss this with your accountant or tax adviser.&nbsp;RegardsGavin&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;KateB2012&nbsp;&nbsp;These are errors MYOB should pick up BEFORE the file is lodged - clearly MYOB have ignored a number of Validation checks the software is meant to perform.&nbsp;Most likely cause of both errors - you have an employee of Income Type Voluntary Agreement, Labour Hire or Other Specified Payments - and you are paying them an Allowance and overtime. These income types cannot be paid an Allowance or Overtime - they are contractors not employees.&nbsp;RegardsGavin

Thanks Gavin for your reply.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a labour hire company in that we employ people to fill roles in other companies on a short or long term contract.&nbsp; So I have listed them all as labour hire.&nbsp; Not sure why this classification can not be paid overtime or allowances such as mileage.&nbsp; If they do overtime or travel between client sites we pay them this and then bill our clients.&nbsp; Not sure how I work around this to satisfy the ATO.&nbsp; I have overtime as part of gross wages and mileage as a MV allowance.&nbsp;As you said MYOB does not pick up these errors when you check payroll details as it says it's good to go, however the reports get accepted with errors each time i send them to the ATO.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;RegardsKatie&nbsp;&nbsp;
