    Tracey,

    Thank you so much, that's made alot more sense.

     

    So have followed your instructions and changed the First JobKeeper Fortnight Start & Finish to START-07 and FINISH-09 but when I try to select "Notify the ATO" it's showing a red circle with a line through it (which I assume means 'no you can't do this').

     

    Is this something to do with the timeframe? Will I have to wait until after 19th Jul (the end of FN08) to complete this?

Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum, I hope you find plenty of useful information.

 

As with everything Payroll the date PAID is the date accepted, dates worked don't mean a thing.

So if you paid then on the 9th July the correct finishing fortnight is FN08.

    Thanks but strange how the ATO advised otherwise? 

     

    So how do I amend the entry as it currently not letting me change the fortnight.

      Hi LouiseTrack40 

       

      This information is from the ATO website: ATO website: Jobkeeper payments 

       

      You need to let us know if your employee is no longer eligible for JobKeeper payments. Tell us the first full JobKeeper fortnight they became ineligible, using the 'JobKeeper Finish Fortnight' field description.

      For example, if you paid the employee their last JobKeeper payment on 13 May 2020 (pay date 13 May 2020), the last payment was made in FN04, meaning the employee is no longer eligible for JobKeeper from FN05.

       

      The instructions to change an incorrectly reported fortnight are also in that link to the ATO website:

       

      Incorrect finish FN (earlier) – if an earlier finish fortnight is incorrectly reported, cancel this entry via a matching start fortnight (cancel via matching start/finish fortnights) and report an additional later finish fortnight.

       

      Please do let us know if you need further help.

        Hi Tracey,

        Thank you for your reply. I've realised I've made an error with the finish fortnight but I'm still a little confused as to how I rectify the mistake.  I've entered in an incorrect earlier finish fortnight on the Jobkeeper Payments section of the MYOB Payroll Reporting Centre. Instead of fortnight FN07 is should be FN09. I also didn't realise I had to include the Finish Fortnight on her final payslip (I will rectify this once I've understood how to recify the issue).

         

        Incorrect finish FN (earlier) – if an earlier finish fortnight is incorrectly reported, cancel this entry via a matching start fortnight (cancel via matching start/finish fortnights) and report an additional later finish fortnight.

         

        With regards to the above info from the ATO, is this correction done on a payslip or on MYOB Payroll Reporting Centre under JobKeeper Payments? Or both?

        Is the above saying to enter a start fortnight of FN09 (if so where?) and then report the correct finish fortnight (again where?)

         

        Thanks

    Hi Graeme,

    So if the date PAID is the 9th July, doesn't that mean they are still eligible for FN 08 which runs from 06 Jul - 19 Jul?

     

    They would become ineligible for FN09 20 Jul - 02 Aug. The reply I received from Tracey included this from the ATO:

    Tell us the first full JobKeeper fortnight they became ineligible, using the 'JobKeeper Finish Fortnight' field description.

    Which would mean I need to report the Finsh Jobkeeper fortnight as FN09??

     

    Sorry this is so confusing!
