Hi Earl,
I know we need to pay super for him - I'm not trying to report through STP - I need to pay super only. Have consulted with our accountant also that this is correct. I've followed MYOB's instructions above and from the link provided in this MYOB thread:
and it gives an error. Your own instructions tell us to pick "Other (not reportable)". I've tried again this morning - see the error in the screenshot - the error for the Pay Run Date is new, I can't see what's wrong with that? Despite the errors I clicked record and it was rejected by the ATO and the super isn't there to pay either.
Please help asap.
Thanks.
Hi SharonSL,
Thanks for explaining that clearly, and for sharing the screenshot. Yes, for a contractor setup like this, the Employment Basis should be set to Other – not reported and the Income Type should be Labour hire. If you’ve already got that set up and you’re still seeing the error, it’ll need a closer look from our team to check that contractor setup properly. Please reach out using one of the support options on our Contact Us page.
As for the other error, this forum thread explains it a bit further and may help with the fix.
Cheers,
Princess
