Hi kath5, 

 

To make the changes needed there are a couple steps below that you would need to follow:

 

Firstly,

 

Unlocking the Pay Run:

  1. Select Employees from the left-hand menu 
  2. Select Pay Runs and then select the Pay Run you wish to unlock 
  3. Select Pay Run Actions then choose the Unlock
  4. Enter in a Comment about why you’re unlocking the Pay Run then select Unlock

Secondly, 

 

Once the Pay Run is unlocked you can then adjust the pay period with below:

 

  1. Open the pay run you wish to adjust the pay period dates for
  2. Click the Adjust Pay Period button from the Pay Run Actions (Note: this option is only visible from the pay run actions in unlocked/unfinalised pay runs)
  3. In the Adjust Pay Period pop-up, select the new pay period ending and the date the pay run will be paid and click Save

If the dates are valid, the pay period will be updated.

 

Thirdly,

 

Once your Pay Run is adjusted and your pay run is finalised, you will see the Publish Pay Slips button in the pay run actions bar. 

 

This will conclude the changes you need to make. 

 

Hope this helps, 

 

-Steven

Apologies, 

 

Then the final step! Is to lodge with ATO which can be done through an Update Event:

 

An update event can only be created by these steps

 

  1. Select the Reports tab
  2. Select Single Touch Payroll (listed under "ATO Reporting").
  3. To create an update event, click on Create Update Event on the top right hand side. A popup will appear where you need to select the financial year and pay schedule pertaining to this update event; then click on Create
  4. Then select Lodge with ATO

 

Please Note: Whilst for peace of mind you can run an Update Event which will update the ATO of all current year-to-date figures (YTD), the ATO is only concerned with changes to YTD figures, meaning your changes in pay period is only a concern for those lodging payruns or company owners, not the ATO, as they do not register pay periods only earnings. Of course though it is entirely up to you if you wish to do so. 

 

Thanks,

 

-Steven
