Update Event Payroll

I know this may seem a dumb question, but I have never had to do an STP Update event for our small business

I have processed our monthly payroll, but want to make an Additional Employer Superannuation Contribution for one employee.

If I do an update event, do I process another full payroll with the gross wages and tax etc. left in place, or do i remove all those figures and just have the one entry for the Additional Employee Superannuation Contribution for the employee.

Then send the update event with just that one line of payroll information...   There is no change to gross income or tax it is simply super.  Is that the right way to do this type of entry.

 

Thanks

    Hi Veronica2026

     

    Not a dumb question at all. The first time you deal with update events, it definitely feels a bit confusing.

     

    If you just want to add extra super on top of your usual pay run, you can just do a separate pay that’s super only. Start a new pay for that employee, set all the normal wages, hours, and tax to $0, and just leave the additional super amount in the superannuation category. Record that and you’re all set.
