    Hi Chris10, 

     

    If those payroll categories have been payroll used in the current and previous payroll year they will be included in the check and will need to be assigned.

     

    Do let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Chris10, 

 

Thanks for your post. Wages, superannuation and deduction payroll categories used in the current and previous payroll year are included in the check. Each of these must have an ATO reporting category assigned. By default, this is set to To be assigned, so you know what payroll categories still need assigning. More information on this is available on our help article Getting ready for STP Phase 2. 

 

Do let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Melisa,

thanks for your quick reply.

If some of the payroll categories that are old/ unused are left with the To Be Assigned category- will this still allow us to transition to STP2 ? 

thanks

        Hi Melisa

        I have moved to STP2 and sent the "Send Update".

        When I first did it there was one "Accepted but with Errors" - which was me needing to put reason in for termination for some employees -I have done this so and send update again- all says Accepted - so assuming all okay there now.

        My query is that we use the Desktop version but now when I enter the Payroll Reporting area it moves to an online platform to access - is this the norm now or should I still be able to access the Payroll Reporting from the Desktop platform ? I just wondered if maybe my transition to STP2 wasnt yet complete? The payroll categories indicate it is but just wasnt sure.

        Thanks, Chris
