Create a Submit Pay Event (AUS)

Create a Submit Pay Event (AUS)

  • An in-progress or completed pay calculation.
  • Security:
    Process STP (Run) - AUS
     domain in the AUS Payroll functional domain.
A submit pay event includes the company totals for the current pay period, and the current year to date amounts for workers.
Create a submit pay event every time you make a payment to a worker, including:
  • Regular pay cycles.
  • Payments made outside of the regular pay cycle (on demand).
  • Payments with no withheld tax.
  • Payees with no net pay.
You can create a submit pay event while pay calculations are in progress. To approve a submit pay event, you need to generate it with complete pay results after running the
Run Pay Complete
 task.
  1. Access the
    Create AUS STP Report
     task.
  2. In the
    Report Type
     field, select
    Submit Pay Event
    .
  3. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Company
    Workday only displays companies that you have access to.
    Pay Groups
    Select all the pay groups that this report is for.
    Only select pay groups that have the same payment date and pay frequency.
    On Cycle Payment Date
    Select the payment date.
    Off Cycle Payment Date
    Select the payment date for an off-cycle payment.
  4. Use the related actions on the report to view the
    Preview
     task and ensure that the details are correct.
To update the data in the STP report after you’ve created it, use the related actions on the report to access the
Refresh Data
 task.
Use the
View Errors
 button on the report preview to check for any warnings that may result in a partial acceptance from the ATO, or critical errors that may result in a rejection from the ATO.
If you don't submit an STP report for an off-cycle payment, the company totals won't be correctly reported to the ATO. The payee's YTD amount will be reported correctly in the next regular pay cycle.
Approve the pay event.
