Single Touch Payroll Reconciliation by Worker (AUS)

Security: Process: STP (Reports) - AUS
domain in the Australia Payroll functional area.

Access to the Single Touch Payroll (STP) report that you want to reconcile with.

If you have a variance between payroll results and a Single Touch Payroll (STP) report, you can check the YTD payroll result amounts against the amounts reported to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for individual workers.

Access the

AUS STP Reconciliation by Worker for Reporting Category

task.

Select an STP result.

Select a reporting category.

To see rows that have no variance between the payroll result and the amount reported to the ATO, select the

Display Rows with Zero Variance

check box.

Click OK.

A grid of workers, their current pay group, their pay result lines, and their amounts reported to the ATO.

Pay results for terminated workers are included in the report. If they weren't paid in the current period, their amounts are shown in the

Payroll Result Line (YTD)

column, but not in the

STP Reported (YTD)

column.

If a worker is part of an Australian pay group for some periods in the tax year, and then are transferred to a different pay group, their amounts are not reported with STP, but their pay result amounts are shown in the report and may result in a variance. You can check the

Current Pay Group

field to confirm their pay group.

If there are variances between your payroll results and the amounts reported to the ATO, the STP report may not have been refreshed after a payroll calculation was run with revised inputs. If the payroll calculation is not in the In Progress
or Completed
status, recalculate it to ensure any changes are included, and refresh the STP report.

Use the

AUS STP Reconciliation - PCs Not Mapped to a Reporting Category

report to find any earnings or deductions that may be unmapped and so not being correctly reported.
