Payroll and STP

If the pay run has already been successfully lodged, we can unlock it, adjust the pay period, finalise it once more, and then submit the update event, JM148. Let me further explain this below.

 

However, once the pay run has not been successfully lodged yet, we can proceed to unlock the pay run, we will amend the pay period, finalize the pay run anew, and submit an update event. Let me guide you through the process of unlocking your pay run.

 

To unlock a Pay Run:

 

  1. Click on Payroll and proceed to Pay Run.
  2. Select the specific Pay Run you need to unlock and click on Pay Run Actions.
  3. Click Unlock and enter a comment detailing the reason for unlocking the Pay Run.
  4. Select the Unlock button to complete the process.
  5. Next to Finalise Pay Run, click on Pay Run Actions.
  6. Choose Adjust Pay Period from the drop-down options and adjust the incorrect dates.
  7. Save the changes.

 

Note: If an automated super payment has been made from a pay run, it cannot be unlocked or deleted. It is best to contact our Customer Care Support Team to assist you regarding the discrepancies in the amounts, dates, or recipients of the payments.

 

Additionally, if you have successfully updated the pay run, there's no need to delete it. Please click this link for a comprehensive guide: Unlock or delete pay run.

 

To update the Year-to-Date (YTD) figures, Super contributions, or other reportable elements, you have two options. You can either include these adjustments in an upcoming pay event or perform an ad-hoc pay run to reconcile any discrepancies between the reported figures and actual occurrences. For more detailed information, you can refer to this article: Deleting apay or update event.
