Deducting Monies in Lieu of Notice
When processing an ETP, you're usually PAYING the employee monies in lieu if they were terminated by the company, and so we assigned the Monies in Lieu of Notice payroll category to W1 in the Activity Statement fields. Under our EBA we are able to withhold monies in lieu of notice when an employee resigns without giving appropriate notice, so this is a DEDUCTION rather than a payment. We processed a termination pay recently where no notice was given and entered a negative amount against the Monies in Lieu of Notice category. When lodging the May IAS, the W1 amount calculated has not deducted the Monies in Lieu of Notice (see breakdown on the attached Payroll summary report). Do I need to create a Payroll Deduction (so it is included as a W2 withheld amount) rather than using a negative amount in the Monies in Lieu of Notice Wages category so it will be recognized by STP?
STP / IAS PAYG amount not matching MYOB report
ATO business portal IAS PAYG amount not matching MYOB report I accidentally ticked "Yes, report updated pay run" by mistake, instead of "No, report new pay run". This particular pay event has been recorded in MYOB and is correct, but theSTP Payroll Reporting Centre has a $0 report as it was noted as a Pay Run Update. Despite correctly entering a subsequent pay event,with the next report having the correct YTD amounts, somehowthe amounts have not updated sothere is a mismatch with the ATO portal which has the lesser amount (without the "updated" pay run). How do I make sure that this pay event is actually picked up? Do I need to reverse the pay run and then re-enter it clicking"No, report new pay run" I entered the correct details with the IAS report, but this still doesn't match what they expect so am unsure of any repurcussions or issues to come. Thanks
