Urgent!-How to report a employee who was terminated with ETP piror starting STP?

[GJ1234]

There are four employees who were terminated with ETP payments piror to we commencing STP reporting.

I understand we need to send them payment summaires instead of reporting them through STP, however do we need to report to ATO for these four employees through EMPDUPE file? So under preparing payment summaries step 6- I selected these 4 employees, however when I go to step 7 (Verify your payroll information), this report includes all employees which is not right as I only need to report 4 employees.

So if I send the EMPDUPE file with all employees to ATO again, will it duplicate the amounts as I have also fanlisted the other employees through STP already? How can I only report 4 employees to ATO?

Thanks,

Stella

Hi @GJ1234 

Thank you for your post. You would not have to do the payment summaries for the terminated employees. Instead, you can report them through STP by taking off the termination date from their card and then doing a zero dollar pay for them. They would then appear in the EOFY tab in payroll reporting center for STP.

You can follow the detailed information on the link given below:

But from the article:

If you terminated an employee during the 2018-19 financial year before you started using Single Touch Payroll, you might need to prepare a payment summary. This depends on whether the employee’s final pay was an Employment Termination Payment (ETP) or not.

If the final pay:

• included an Employment Termination Payment (ETP), you won't be able to report this to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll. Instead, you'll need to provide them with a payment summary. See prepare payment summaries.
• didn't include an ETP, (for example, their final pay only included unused leave), you'll need to follow the steps below to report their payroll details.

Those four employees were teminated before we starting STP reporting and their final pay included an ETP so we don't be able to report this to the ATO through STP. Is this right?

So I have to report them to ATO through EMDUPDP file, right? As their final gross amount under "final submission" is wrong, however they are correct on the payment summaries.

Hi @GJ1234 

Yes, that is correct. If you have issued ETP, you would have to do payment summaries as mentioned in the article. 

To include just those 4 employees in Step 7 of the Payment Summary Assistant, you can untick all the others for which you have already reported using STP.

Thanks for the reply,

However I am under step 7 "Review the payment summaries" and I only ticked 4 employees, then click "next", the payroll report in step 8 still included all the informtaion, not the 4 employees. 

Can you please help?

Thanks,
