Payroll,

Hi Sue7 

Thanks for providing that information. From looking at those payslips I think I can see what the problem is.

First payslip: 

Gross amount is $1013.64, according to ATO tax tables the tax withheld amount on $1013 is $187

If you add up

Base Hourly               $679.18

District Allow - Bar     $16.38

Overtime (1.5x)          $70.26

Shift Allowance          $19.47

The total is $785.29

The tax withheld amount on $785 is $108, which is the amount withheld in this pay

Second Payslip

Gross amount is $877.00, according to ATO tax tables the tax withheld amount on $877 is $140

Again add up

Base hourly           $632.34

District Allow         $14.41

Shift Allow             $19.47

The total is $666.22

The tax withheld amount on $666 is $73, which is the amount withheld in this pay

It appears that in both pays the payroll category, Justine Sunday, has been excluded from the PAYG calculations. I would recommend checking that payroll category and making sure it has not been ticked exempt from PAYG withholding. I'd also check that the YTD amounts in STP are correct for that employee as making a payroll category exempt from payg will exclude it from STP.

Please let me know how you go with this.
