What to do when Payees are included in an STP Lodgement when they shouldn't be.

To correct the Payees who were not physically paid but have been included in an STP Lodgement when they should not have been, you can either process a Missed Pay Run (if the Pay Day Date has passed) OR an Out Of Cycle Pay Run if the Pay Day Date is current or future.

If the Payee has been physically paid, refer to What do I do when Payees are overpaid?

STEP 1 - Start a new Single Touch Payroll Pay Run.

Within the Pay Run Details Window, choose

Missed if the Pay Day Date has passed OR
Out of Cycle Pay Run if the Pay Day Date is current or future.

STEP 2 - Choose the Payees included in the Single Touch Payroll Pay Run.

STEP 3 - Compose the Payees' Pay Details.

The above instructions will guide you through completing STEP 3 by processing negative payments.

STEP 4 - Review the Single Touch Payroll Pay Run Reports.

🎯 If there are any issues when completing STEP 4, amend the required Payees Pay at STEP 3, then reprocess STEP 4.

STEP 5 - Review the Single Touch Payroll Pay Run Pay Advice Slips.

STEP 6 - Post the Pay Run and send your STP Lodgement.

🎯 Please ensure all information is correct before completing STEP 7. Once the pay run has been declared true and correct, it cannot be amended, and corrections will need to be made by referring to How do I correct the information included in an STP Lodgement?
