Is it still ok to continue to use the JOBKEEPER-TOPUP Payroll Category that I manually setup in Payroll Settings which I have been using since 1 July 2020?

Is it still ok to continue to use the JOBKEEPER-TOPUP Payroll Category that I manually setup in Payroll Settings which I have been using since 1 July 2020? I set it up manually in the first instance so that it could be added to each Employees Default Pay Run Settings and therefore it does not need to be added to each employee every time you do a Payrun. This has been working well for the past 3 months but I am making sure it will not cause any issues with JobKeeper 2.0 going forward. My other concern is that if I change the Category to the Quickbooks System generated Category it will not be accurate with regards to Year To Date totals of JOBKEEPER-TOPUP payments.

Hi eventswest, 

 

I would encourage you to read over this helpful Managing JobKeeper Payments guide which is updated to confirm the new JobKeeper outlines. It's extremely helpful in ensuring your payroll system is set up to be included in the extension. 

 

To answer your concerns, based on JobKeeper 2.0 way of Processing JobKeeper Payments it does encourage you to use the system generated option to be sure the figures are reported correctly. You may need to consider moving forward, even if the ATO is satisfied with your previous payments, during the new scheme to use this Add JobKeeper Payment Option.  

 

For any assistance with this process or if you have any further followup questions related to a company file, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by clicking here.

 

Thanks, 

 

-Steven
