STP YTD Verification Report not agreeing with Payroll Summary & Payroll Register

Hi bpapayroll

Based on your post, it's clear that there's a discrepancy in your reports. If the YTD Verification Report doesn't match the Payroll Summary Report, it is because all the wages that are reported as gross payments will only show up in the YTD Verification Report. Under the EOFY Finalization tab, against the employee name, there are three dots that will show the individual summary payments as a breakdown of other pay items that are not reported as gross payments. If you add these gross YTDs to the verification report, everything should match. Let me know if you have other queries!

Kind regards,

Hi Shella,

Thank you for your reply. Yes the employee's individual summary does reflect the negative leave amount. The YTD Verification Report is disregarding this negative amount, and is instead including this figure as if it were a positive amount, therefore over-inflating the YTD figures on the verification report and not agreeing with my payroll summary.

I am satisfied everything is correct as the discrepancy between the reports is the exact amount of this negative leave on the employee's final pay, but was not comfortable finalising with the YTD not reconciling against the other reports.

If there is no way around this glitch on the YTD verification report it sounds like I will need to finalise without the reports agreeing.

Hey bpapayroll

If other payroll reports agree to each other and it's just the YTD verification report that doesn't agree, you will need to check each payroll category used of the previous pay runs. This is to make sure that each of them were assigned to the correct ATO reporting category. Here's a link that you can follow especially if payroll reports don't match.

Best regards,
