MYOB Payroll 2020- Correction after pay has been finalised

I am looking for the process to correct the employee payroll data when an error has been detected after the pay has been finalised. Before the Payday filing came into operation I would reverse the payroll, finalise again and then reenter the correct data and all was well. Since Payday Filing has come in I am not sure whether I can follow the same process or is there another way to do the correction?

 

Your help is much appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Kind regards

 

Barry

    Hi bazzamed 

    So you haven't lodged this payrun with IRD yet? If not - you should restore from the backup prior to finalise pay, and correct the mistake made, then re-finalise. This will create a new payday filing file which you can lodge with the IRD.

    If you lodge the original file created, then you would still need to do the amendment at the IRD.

    Hi bazzamed 

    You would still do the reversal and fix the issue in Payroll. You would then go and edit the information at the IRD, which would lodge an adjustment.

      Hi Jennie

       

      Thanks for that but I meant to say how to make the correction before the file is sent to the IRD(sorry was not very clear). If I understand you correctly I can do the reversal the same as before and there will only be 1 file created for the IRD for Payday Filing?

       

      Regards
