STP/Allowance

[Advocacy]

I have Klms and first aid allowances set up as per the phase 2 reporting, but when I balance the YTD of my gross wages in MYOB to the STP EOFY finalisation report, all the staff that receive those entitlements, the balance is out by those amounts, so not included in the STP finalisation gross amounts.

We are new to paying allowances so not sure if this is correct or not.

Thanks

Hi @Advocacy 

Thank you for your post. In regards with the reports of allowances/entitlements it wasn't included under the STP EOFY Finalization Report. Entitlements reports that are linked into employee’s card file can be run by going to Reports>> Choose Payroll>> Select Entitlements>> Choose Balance Summary or Balance Details, these two reports will help you determine the correct balance and details of your employee entitlements/allowance. 

You may have a look at this Help Article: Leave and entitlements and Payroll Report that has all the details information and steps to assist you with this.

Hi Shellia 

Thank you for your reply, it doesn’t really answer my question, I know what and where the amounts are, and why they are different from my STP EOFY finalisation, my concern/question is, should the allowances be separate from the gross amounts showing on the STP report? And assume they will show up on the employee income statements?

Are yuo able to offer any advice on that ? thanks Shelia.

Hi @Advocacy1 

Thank you for the response. Referring to STP allowances should not be included in gross payments in the STP EOFY verification report, they need to be shown separately in that report.  This will definitely show up on the employee income statements. The Total STP gross wages (in the ATO Reporting Category section) doesn't include allowances. This amount should be the same as what's shown in your Payroll Summary report in MYOB, minus any allowances or the other pay components which are listed in the Reconciliation to Payroll section.
