    Hi marie79 

     

    Thanks for your response. 

     

    I was able to check the screenshot you sent. When you check the payroll categories, could you please check if it is exempted to PAYG. Generally, if the payroll category is exempted to PAYG, this will not show up on your STP reports. To correct the situation, please check first if the payroll category is PAYG exempted. To do this, go to Payroll > Payroll Categories > Click the wage category for Worker's Compensation > Click Exempt > Check if PAYG withholding listed checked > To remove an exemption, untick the checkbox. If you are unsure if the Worker's Compensation should be PAYG exempted, we recommend speaking with your accountant or financial advisor.

     

    After changes has been made, please send an update event or process a $0 pay run.

     

    Please let me know how it goes.

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

Hi marie79 

 

Thanks for this.

 

I have seen the screenshot and that confirms the Worker's Compensation has the ATO Reporting Category of Gross Payments. In this case, could you please check the Employee tab from the Worker's Compensation category. Please refer to the screenshot below.

 

                                               

Please check if the employee names are ticked. If you can confirm that they are ticked on that window, please run the Payroll Summary report. To generate the report, go to Reports > Payroll > Under Payroll Categories, click Payroll Summary. Then take a screenshot of it. Make sure to remove sensitive information before posting in the Forum.

 

Best regards,

Doreen

Hi Doreen

 

I checked the wages information and both the employees who were paid workers comp are ticked. 

 

I have attached a screenshot of the payroll summary section where it shows the workers compensation for you to take a look.

 

Thanks again

      Doreen, you are one in a million.

       

      Yes, the withholding was marked as exempt. I took the tick off, sent and update event & it reconciled.

       

      I have another client who paid one of their staff negative paid parentel leave during the year and its not reporting. Any ideas??

        Hi marie79 

         

        Thanks for the update.

         

        Glad to hear that the resolution I have provided resolved your concern.

         

        Regarding your other concern about the paid parental leave not reporting, kindly check if the payroll category has the correct ATO Reporting Category. If changes have been made, please process an update event or a $0 pay run.

         

        Please let me know how it goes.

         

        Best regards,
