    Hi pamos 

     

    Thanks for your post. When creating payroll categories for ETP payments you would generally create 3, ETP Taxable, ETP Tax Free and ETP Tax Withheld. Did you assign the Lump Sum D ATO reporting category to the ETP Tax Free payroll category? These help articles have detailed information on termination payments:

    Recording a final pay

     

    Please let me know how you go with this.

thanks for your help Tracey H

 

so to correct the problem would i reverse the original pay 3.12.20

follow the information and create the payroll catogories correctly and then redo the pay on the date it happened 3.12.20?.

 

I have un-finalised the empoyees end of year summary already.

then once i am satisfied it is correct re-finalise eoy pay

Hi pamos 

 

That's correct, you will need to reverse and reprocess with the correct ETP payroll categories. When you reprocess the termination pay make the payment date a different date, eg the 2nd or 4th dec, to prevent any issues with the ETP.

 

Then refinalise the employee once the Summary of payments report is correct.

 

Please let me know if you need further help.
