FAQs

What if I make a mistake in a pay run?

Mistakes happen and in MYOB they're easy to fix. Depending on what needs fixing, you might be able to adjust the employee's next pay or undo the pay and record it again.

With STP, your employees' year to date (YTD) figures are sent to the ATO after each pay run. So if changing an employee's pay affects their YTD figures, the updated figures will be sent to the ATO the next time you do a pay run.

If a pay has been accepted by the ATO and you need to undo it, you'll need to reverse the pay and report the reversal to the ATO.

For all the details on fixing pays, see Fixing a pay.

If the pay you need to change is in a payroll year that's been finalised with the ATO, see Changing a pay after finalising with Single Touch Payroll.

FAQs

How do I fix or delete a report that's been sent to the ATO?

With STP, your employees' year to date (YTD) figures are sent to the ATO after each pay run. So if changing an employee's pay affects their YTD figures, the updated figures will be sent to the ATO the next time you do a pay run.

If you want to remove or "undo" a pay that you've sent to the ATO, you'll be able to delete or reverse it based on its status in the Payroll Reporting Centre. This ensures you're not deleting anything which has already been accepted by the ATO. For details, see Changing a recorded pay.

Pay runs will remain listed in the payroll reporting centre even after deleting or reversing a pay in AccountRight.

If the pay you need to change is in a payroll year that's been finalised with the ATO, see Changing a pay after finalising with Single Touch Payroll.
