Hi,
I have had the same situation where I identified a wage payroll category had 'Not Reportable' incorrectly assigned as the ATO Reporting category, the correct category was 'Gross Payments'. This payroll category had only been used once for one employee.
I updated the payroll category and processed a $0 pay for the employee, the STP report has been accepted by the ATO but the employee's YTD gross payment figures have not changed to include the one-off payment.
I need to fix this ASAP so that I can finalise all 100 employees.
Hi, KatCT
Thanks for your post, and sorry for the delay in response.
Since you were able to identify and correct the ATO Reporting Category that causes the discrepancy, kindly make sure that when you process a $0 pay run, the date entered is still within the affected payroll year. For further information, kindly refer to The Help Article: End of year finalisation with Single Touch Payroll reporting.
Please let us know if you require any further assistance with this.
Best regards,
Doreen
