Hi BreeDeCunha 

Thanks for your post. To fix this, I'd suggest to change/edit the pay category name. This help article will give you more information about : Payroll categories / Editing payroll categories

Note: Under entitlement the show balance on payslip should be mark check.
Cheers,
Earl

Earl_HD you have not read my question properly.

 

I have changed it already, but it is still not flowing through to the payroll verification report.

 

See attached.

    Hi BreeDeCunha 

    My apologies. After you update the payroll categories, you would need to send update event to ATO then close the report then re open.

    Please do let me know how you go on this.
    Regards,
    Earl

      Hi Earl_HD 

      I can't send an update event for 22/23, I get the error message 

       

      The Payment Date falls within the lock period. You can't record pays dated in the lock period. Contact your administrator for more information.

       

      Btw, the normal lock period is not on, so I don't know what it is referring to.
