Payroll and STP

Hi kbOG1,

If you are creating and lodging a 0 pay run to the ATO, it is important to remember to enter a Note on the pay run. This will ensure that the pay run can be successfully lodged to the ATO.

To create empty pay runs:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on New Pay Run.
3. Select a pay schedule, pay period ending and pay date.
4. Tick box for Create pay run with empty pays.

Pay run created will show 0 earnings for all employees listed under the pay schedule selected. Make sure to enter a Note to be able to lodge the pay run to the ATO.
