Hi wilf58
When the employment basis of an employee's card is set to be Other (not Individual or Labour hire) this will prevent that card from being reporting on by payroll reporting.
If you do need to report on that employee you would be looking at setting that Employment Basis to Individual or Labour Hire - Employees' card>>Payroll Details>>Wages>>Employment Basis.
Thanks for the prompt reply Steven. If I make the Employment Basis OTHER and hence it excludes the information from STP, will it still pick up the superannuation component when I do my quarterly payment for all the regular employees or do I have to do something extra?
Hi wilf58
Pay Superannuation is done based on the superannuation category and employee superannuation details. The Employment Basis doesn't factor in the equation on whether or not the superannuation amounts will appear in the Pay Superannuation window.
Hi Steven - I just tested your hypothesis on Employment Basis - OTHER is ignored when reporting to the ATO. I just setup a card accordingly and entered a pay for that person with $60 in superannuation as the only payroll transaction. When I record the transaction MYOB prompts me with the "Send payroll information to the ATO" see attached. Whilst I can cancel the transfer and "continue without declaring" this will still sit there and needs attention.
