Hey Christine121,
You’ve actually done all the right steps already. If a pay item has been used at any point this financial year, it will continue to appear as a separate line on the pay slip for the rest of the year. It automatically drops off starting from the first pay of the next payroll year (in your case, pays processed from July 2026 onward). The good news is it’s purely cosmetic. It won’t affect payments to the fund or anything reported through STP. If staff ask about it, you can add a short note on the pay slip template explaining that the line is from an older setup, will disappear next year, and that the totals are correct.
Cheers,
Doreen
