Duplicate Employee Card causing STP EOFY Finalisation issue

[charly]

Hi MYOB Community,

We had an employee resign and leave the company in December 2018.  They have re-joined the company in June 2019.  Wanting to retain the former employment details, I made their previous card inactive and started a new card for them.  This has caused an issue with the STP report for end of year as their Lump Sum A for unused annual leave paid out amount was not showing on either of the 2 EOFY reports for that employee.

After speaking with our Accountant, they advised that I undo the paryoll transaction on the new employee card and re-do it using the previous employee card, which I did and this resolved that issue.

However, in reversing the payroll transaction on the new card - no report has been sent to the ATO through STP to show that this transaction has been reversed or cancelled and now I have a duplicate for this employee of their June 2019 payroll in the EOFY finalisation page on Payroll Reporting.  I did not have the option to delete as superannuation payments have been processed for the April-June 2019 quarter.

Is there some way I can delete that report from the Payroll Reporting EOFY Finalisation page?

Thanking you

Hi @charly 

You can’t delete an STP report, you need to create an update event. 

If all YTD amounts on the new card are now zero you can process a $0 pay for that card, which will update the YTD amounts with the ATO to zero.

Let me know how you go

Hi @bungy15 @(tracey)

Thanks so much for that guidance - it worked a treat and now I have that trick (so to speak) up my sleeve.
