It would be great if you could set your system with the start and end days for a pay week. For us, the week begins on Thursday and ends on Wednesday, and I pay on Thursday. I have to change these dates every week for 4 separate payrolls.
Surely it makes no sense that the end date is the same date as the payment date - how can you know how many hours someone has worked if they haven't finished their shift? Surely the end date nearly always needs to be prior to the payment date.
This would be another time saver.
Hello georgieh
Firstly you do not need to change your pay cycle. Your pay cycle does not have to relate to the job keeper fortnight.
What you do need to consider is in which JobKeeper fortnight your pay date is.
To explain this- you had a pay week that commenced Thursday 26th of March and ended on Wednesday, 1 April. Your payday was Thursday, 2 April. This payday of 2 April falls within the first job keeper fortnight 30 March to 12 April.
You would use the. JOBKEEPER-START01 payroll category to advise the ATO through STP that you are in the system from the beginning of April. You only need to use this 01 code once. As long as the ATO has been advised of the START01 you should get your $3000 per employee in early May.
If you have already completed pays for April then you may need to do an additional pay run for make up pay and to advise the ATO with a one cent pay as per the MYOB instructions.
I hope this helps. Cheers David
