Princess_RThanks so much for your reply.
So am I correct in saying these super back payments all need to be entered and reported via a pay run, and then release (pay) the liabilities through the Pay Liabilities function?
How would you suggest I handle the payruns for previous employees that are now marked inactive with a termination date entered on their file? To process their super back payments, would I need mark them active and delete their termination date, or is there another way around this?
Hi MrsSwaino,
Thanks for your response.
You're correct in saying that super-back payments can be processed via the Pay Run and Pay Liabilities functions. However, it's always a good idea to consult with your accountant.
If super payments are showing under the Pay Super screen, it might be due to the setup of your superannuation fund. You might want to check if the box for "Pay directly from AccountRight" is ticked, as this could be generating super payments from the Pay Super screen. Before recording transactions, it's crucial to ensure the accuracy of your payroll reports and that they match with the ATO. This can help avoid any discrepancies or issues down the line.
As for your second inquiry about handling pay runs for inactive employees, you would need to undo the finalisation and remove the termination date to make the employee active again. However, please be aware that this should be done with caution and proper consideration, as it might affect other aspects of your payroll.
Feel free to post anytime you need further assistance.
Cheers,
Princess
When it comes to entering these super back payments into MYOB, should these be done via a pay run, so it's reported via STP reporting? Or, because I am completing the SCG Statements, would this be "double" reporting?
Is there another way to enter this into MYOB, so I don't have to undo the finalisation/remove terminations etc for inactive employees?
Thank you
