    Hi Gina4m 

     

    Any errors that relate to "xxxx must be left blank" are generally caused by an incorrect Income Type selected in the employee card. You can check if the error has been resolved before the next pay run by processing a $0 pay for those employees, wait until that report has been sent and then check the Status. 

     

    If you continue to get errors please let me know.

Hi Gina4m 

 

Thanks for your post. Both of those errors indicate the issue is the Income type selected in the employee card>>Payroll details tab>>Taxes>>Income type. The ATO don't allow some payment types for specific Income types, for example, if Labour hire is selected as the Income type, the ATO don't allow payments of overtime and leave for Labour hire. You will need to confirm the correct Income type is selected.

 

Please let me know how you go.

Thank you Tracey,

I have made the changes you suggested, but I have no idea if the ATO will accept them in STP2, and cannot find out until I send through the next payrun.

I will let you know next week if this has worked.

It is not a question of overtime or “paid leave must be left blank”, as neither of the two with errors have those. It’s the “allowances items must be left blank” that causes the problem I think.

      Hi Tracey H

       

      The zero payroll had come back accepted, so your instructions did the trick.

      Thank you for your assistance.
