Processing payroll defaults to bonus/commission

[jhay1]

Hi, 

I have just transitioned to Single Touch Payroll Stage 2 and noticed that when I click on process payroll the 'process all employees paid' box is defaulting to bonus/commission rather than weekly. I've changed it to weekly and closed the window but when I go in again it's doing the same thing. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hi @jhay1 

Thanks for your post. AccountRight will remember your last recorded selection. So if you change that option to weekly then process and record a pay run it should default to weekly the next time you go to process a pay run.

Please let me know how you go with this.

Unfortunally that doesn't work, it always shows as Bonus/Commission even if I change it on a weekly basis.

Hi @CLARK1 

I just tested this in 2022.9 by:

1. going to Process payroll>>selecting Bonus/Comission as the Pay frequency>>recording a bonus payrun
2. going back into Process payroll>>selecting Weekly>>recording a weekly payrun
3. went back into Process payroll and the frequency defaulted to Weekly

If that is not happening for you try clearing the AccountRight cache and let me know how that goes.

Hi Tracey,

Thank you. It's now defaulting to weekly, so that's great.

Kind regards

I have never never processed a bonus/commission pay run.. so this has just happened with the upgrade. a nuisance.. but once you change it one week.. seems to sort it the following week.  Its also one more step when authenticating to ATO.. you now have to select whether you are an authorised employee or tax agent each time..
