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.
Hi wilf58
As you have payroll reporting is enabled within the company file any pays that you do process will need to be declared. However, if you are only declaring an employee with the Employment Basis of Other the pay event will be rejected for the following reason:
Hi Steven - I do not get the message that you show in your response even though my test run only tries to pay a contractor whose Employment Basis is OTHER. When I record the "pay" it takes me straight to the "Send payroll information to ATO" box. If I authorise it I get the "Something went wrong at our end". So there must be something that you are doing different to achieve your result. Please advise.
