Create an Update Pay Event (AUS)

Create an Update Pay Event (AUS)

Security:
Process: STP (Run) - AUS
 in the AUS Payroll functional domain.
Create an update pay event when you need to update information with the ATO, including when you need to:
  • Update your BMS ID or Worker IDs when moving to Workday.
  • Make STP amendments for previous finalized years.
  • Complete end of tax year processes, including finalization.
  • Correct misclassifications with no additional payment.
  • Finalize STP for a terminated worker who has no final payment.
Only use an update pay event when you aren't paying workers. Use a submit pay event if you're creating an STP report in relation to a pay calculation.
You’ll only be able to generate update pay events for the previous tax year if you have submitted STP reports for the company with Workday in the previous year. The tax year is based on the local time and date of the logged in user.
