📢 Important info - Changes to the Reckon Payroll sign in screen
Changes to the payroll.reckon.com sign-in screen
Hi everyone!
We just wanted to give you a heads up on some changes you may notice when signing in into Reckon Payroll.
From Thursday 19 September, if you sign-in to Reckon Payroll from https://payroll.reckon.com/ you’ll be automatically directed to our Reckon Portal screen at https://portal.reckon.com/ instead to sign-in.
What do I need to do?
It’s super simple! After you land on the Reckon Portal sign in screen just sign in with your existing Reckon Payroll credentials and you’ll access your Reckon Payroll book as normal. That’s it! It’s that easy 🙂
If you already access Reckon Payroll through portal.reckon.com rather than payroll.reckon.com then you won't need to do anything at all and won't notice any changes.
If you have https://payroll.reckon.com/ bookmarked, feel free to update your bookmark to https://portal.reckon.com/ however we’ll have an automatic redirection in place that takes you to the new login screen.
Why is the Reckon Payroll sign-in screen changing?
We’re bringing together and simplifying our sign in experience into one place for our users at portal.reckon.com.
The Reckon Portal sign in screen also supports MFA through an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, in addition to the pre-existing SMS option, for added flexibility around MFA.
Questions?
If you have any questions or trouble with signing in, please drop us a reply below and we’ll do our best to assist.

Re: How to use GST collected and GST paid accounts in recording BAS payment in Reckon one?
I've had a chat with a colleague and they've provided the below info which hopefully is useful 👇
The GST Collected and GST Paid accounts are the accounts that GST amounts are posted when a Tax Code is applied to a transaction. They are sub-accounts of GST Payable.
When preparing a BAS report, Reckon One users should go to Reporting ➡️ Reports Centre ➡️ Tax, then view the reports there and ensure you change the report date range to your BAS period.
- In Tax Code Exception you can see a list of transactions that do not contain a tax code.
- In Tax Code Transactions transactions are listed according to Tax Code, Sales side tax codes (GST, FRE, INP, EXP) first, and then Expense side tax codes (NCG, NCF, NCI, CAG, CAF, CAI).
Run your eye over these lists for entries that may not look right if any. Drill down, examine it, and make any changes that are required.
Now look at the GST Summary Report that will list all the tax coded transactions into the G-lines of this report. You can then proceed to Tax ➡️ BAS and compile your BAS lodgement form.
When you pay your obligation to the ATO, you will need to process a Make Payment transaction. The GST Payable account is the convenient account to record the GST component of your payment to the ATO.
When you view the balance sheet again then;
- GST Payable shows amounts you paid to the ATO
- GST Received will show GST amounts you collected from customers
- GST Paid will show GST amounts you paid to suppliers

Re: Leave of Absence
Thanks Tanvi, I found that by expanding the window, before that I could not see that option.
Re: Leave of Absence
Brilliant as usual, thanks Rav, I had never used it, but now I know, maybe I will :-)
Re: Leave of Absence
You'll find the Leave of Absence entries by selecting the employee from the list then click on Manage Employee Information ➡️ Leave of Absence
Any leave of absence entries that have been added for the employee will appear and can be deleted from the window.

Re: Recurring Unexpected error when generating transaction reports
Hi @PCsforKids
Just dropping in to say I haven't forgot about this. We've had some work happening in the background which we hoped to have released this week but unfortunately have hit some snags in testing which has caused some delays.
I'll keep you posted on this.

Re: #TipTuesday - ABA File Creation
Hello Lucas
Thank you for this tip. I am keen to give it a go 👍️
Could you also post something similar for getting bank transactions into Reckon (accounts - Desktop). ATM we manually check off bank statement transactions to transactions in our Reckon file.
Thank you 🙂
Re: Opps, paid Sick Leave instead of Annual Leave......... Help
Hello @Rebecca_7630369 ,
You can correct this by reinstating the employee, setting their last payrun to Draft, and then replacing Sick Leave with Annual Leave.
After you've processed this, submit this to the ATO as an Update - you will see this option if you click "Resubmit to ATO" after re-finishing the payrun.
Kind regards,
