Update Release AccountRight 2020.2 Removal of Prepare Payment Summaries

    Hi TGC1 

     

    The Prepare Payment Summaries function will be removed for files that do have Payroll Reporting (STP) enabled. Clients that have not enabled Payroll Reporting will still have access to that Prepare Payment Summaries within AccountRight 2020.2.

     

    As I do know that this may be of great concern to some users, as such I've added a screenshot showing a pre-release build of 2020.2 showing that option still being available.

We didn't move over to STP until September 2019.

I have former staff members that finished prior to this and I cannot run their payment summaries now as they are not under the STP reporting.

 

The Prepare Payment Summaries function needs to be available for everyone, not just those who have not activated it.

 

How do I run the payment summary for these former employees?

Hi HK01 

 

As noted on our help article Processing a final pay, we do recommend preparing the payment summary at the time of termination.

 

If you have a backup of the file from before you upgraded to 2020.2, then you could restore it locally into that version and prepare the payment summary. This would allow you to prepare the physical payment summary.

 

Alternatively you could remove the termination date on the terminated employee and record a zero dollar pay for that employee. This will allow you to report that employee through STP, so that you can then finalise them through STP. This will allow the employee to access their information through their MyGov account

    Hi Neil,

    I will try the zero pay.

     

    These employees are casual, they come and go all year and you never know when they are coming back so I guess they don't really have a termination date.

     

    Going forward this won't be an issue, but for the move to STP, all non terminated employees should have been picked up, not just those with pays being processed after the move. I will now have to go do the zero pay for multiple others too.

     

    Thanks
