Incorrect payroll category

In December an employee's commission was paid under an incorrect pay item. 

The end result is the same but the payroll categories are different ATO Payroll reporting categories.

How do I correct this? 

Should I process a new pay run for that employee with the same December dates processing the commission correctly and a negative figure for the incorrect category. 

Ending up with a zero net pay and finalise.

 

  • Yes use 31/12/24 for each date representing an unscheduled update payrun

  • Yes that is correct
    Run an unscheduled zero net pay payrun with no accruals or superannuation
    add commission to correct category and negate the wrong category
    lodge STP

    So it is ok to do it in the same month Dec 2024.
