Hi WMack
The employee card>>Pay history comes from the pay runs processed for the current payroll year. This means that when the payroll year rolls over the Pay History is cleared and starts again for the current year. To change the Pay History for a previous year you need to restore a backup taken in that payroll year.
What you will need to do is:
- back up the current online file
- restore a back up taken on or prior to 30 June
- fix the Pay history
- process a $0 pay with payment date as 30 June
- restore the back up of the current online file

Hi Tracey
I had a call from *** on Friday and she has suggested exactly what you have. I've done all that and it has worked sending the correct figure to the ATO for that 1 employee.
One last question before I close it off though. Will that affect my EOFY Finalisation back in the new file (that's the figures used for Payment Summaries isn't it?) or should that have been performed in the file I restored to fix the issue? I'm guessing the Payroll Register will still be incorrect in my current file and I just need to allow for that if doing any EOFY reconciliations off of it.
Hi WMack
My apologies for the delay in getting back to you. The Pay history in the current file will only be for the current payroll year so the finalisation should be done in the previous years back up file once the corrections are done. Sorry, I should have added that step when providing those instructions.
Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.
