Hi Libby,
If every employee you've paid throughout the year is still in the last payrun you're about to process then you can use the regular 'Final Pay Event' selection to close off the final pay.
If you have employees that were terminated throughout the year ie. they are not present in the final payrun then we have a new piece of functionality coming next week which will introduce a Year End Finalisation function which will bring up ALL employees paid throughout the year regardless of terminated or not and this will be sent as your final pay event.0 -
Hi Rav
do we need to download a patch for this finalisation function?

Thanks Rav. I do have terminated employees so I will have to wait. I assume this is a patch that we will have to upload. I was hoping to run the final pay today (estimating times) this gives me more time to do all the associated EOFY payroll processes before the 1st pay of the new year. I do hope the patch will be ready early in the week. Also were there any other patches during this year as I have not received any notices to load them?

Hi Rav
Help!!
Any news on when the Final Years Pay functionality will be rolled out?
We do our weekly payroll on a Thursday.
I always pull the last weeks pay forward by a week to give me more time to get the EOFY processing done in time prior to the 1st pay of the new year.

Hi Libby,

I'll have info and announcements on the Community as soon as its live.2 -
Hi Rav
Any news on the update?
I am getting worried that I will not have the update in time for payday on Thursday.

HI Rav
I am doing my final payrun today can I process it but not upload it to reckon gov until the patch is available?

That is my question too???0

Thanks Rav, but do I still process my pays in 2018/2019 payroll as usual but not upload it to send to the ATO ?? When 2019/2020 is avail download it then send as per instructions before starting the new financial years pays? Hope that makes sense!

Hi Rav
I have read your reply about final pay run but do we upload that STP Report to Gov Connect then upload the end of year STP report once we have loaded the 2019/20 Payroll Premier version??
0 -
Good question can I have the answer too?

Hi guys,
This article explains how the end of year submission will work with the 'Finalise Year' option coming to Payroll Premier 2019/20.
Processing your Single Touch Payroll End of Financial Year Submission with Payroll Premier
If you have ALREADY processed your final pay ie. marked it with Final Pay Event and submitted it via GovConnect, but still have employees outstanding that were NOT included in that final pay submission, you can still perform the End of Financial Year process in Payroll Premier 2019/20 (when released) as outlined in the article above2 -
Will that be the same with Reckon Accounts enterprise desktop?

Hi Rav, when will Payroll Premier 2019/20 be available to download?0
-
The principle is the same but for a step by step guide on year end finalisation for Reckon Accounts Business (desktop), see the post here -
How do I finalise my end of year reporting with Single Touch Payroll?

All going well, it will be available tomorrow afternoon I believe.0

Thank you

Crap! So i've paid the last pay run inside payroll premier and submitted the STP files as per normal through Gov Connect... do i need to delete these???? HELP Rav0
-
I was just going to do the same should I just save it in EXPORT

Well i just read Rav's comment above 'If you have ALREADY processed your final pay and submitted it via GovConnect, but still have employees outstanding that were NOT included in that final pay submission, you can still perform the End of Financial Year process listed in the article above' so it might be ok.
I really wish there was better communication coming from Reckon.. and not left to the last minute as usual. How have we not already received a software update??!1 -
it is very disappointing that we are not updated via email as to what is required, well in advance, or if a problem is discovered, we are not emailed immediately.1

Here here!1 -
Hi Rav
Any update on this please? It would be great to have finalised year end procedure before first pay on Monday 1 July.

HI Rav
Just found this post so please ignore my earlier comment. Once we have done the End of Financial Year report - is that it as far as the ATO are concerned? Is it better to wait for the 20192020 update before processing?0 -
Oh my how lacking in support these guys are!!! 1 hour on the phone to ask a simple question and i had to leave a message to call me which we all know won't happen. I have the same issue as those above. I have sent through my last pay but it wasn't marked as final as we didn't have any instructions at that point. Now if i try to send a final it doesn't have all employees for the year. Are my terminated employees already 'finalised'. Do i final my last pay and hope for the best? then upgrade and do it again for 2018/2019 though the upgraded software which is what i believe is being suggested above? Good grief!! Is the 2019/2020 the same as the 'patch' mentioned above?

My question is the same as Peta?0

Hi Peta,
I spoke to an awesome guy this morning at Reckon, who not only helped me for a couple of hours last night but called me back first thing this morning as promised.. i couldn't believe it!!
Anyway.. here is what i found out and hopefully it can help you too.
1. We submitted our final pay for 18/19 inside 18/19 software and lodged the STP files as per normal
2. Install 19/20
3. Bring up the STP report - click EOFY button - all employees past and present should appear
4. Check all employees YTD figures match the reconciliation report
5. If all figures match export and lodge with ATO
The EOFY export will replace all previous reports, so this report will be the final figures sent to ATO for 18/19.
Hope that helps.4 -
Sorry, forgot to mention the EOFY report will mark all employees as 'final event' so will start off fresh for everyone for 19/202
-
Well done Kali!!!!
Yes they are super helpful once you actually get through to someone who knows the software! Good result and thanks for sharing

HI Kali
Did you put it through as an update event?0 -
I was so impressed with him (best support guy i have spoke to in 15 years at Reckon) that i sent an email to his Team Leader! If only.. all the support was like him!1
-
No, Jo - no update event. Just as per normal.2
-
Thanks Kali for your simplified EOFY help above after you did the hard yards on the phone last night and this morning. Many thanks

Well i hope it works Tracy, i'm yet to try it as still fixing other "bugs"0
-
Hi Jo,
I just went to do this myself tonight, and noticed the 'update event' button is ticked automatically.
The support tech i spoke to didn't specify this; however, looks like it's mandatory as it won't let you untick it.
However, this could be because i had already lodged the standard STP lodgement through 18/19 already.
Cheers,
Kali1 -
Thanks Kali - with your help it was easy1
-
So glad it helped0
-
Is anyone having any issues where terminated employees are not appearing once you click the EOFY button?0
-
Hi,
How can I get this patch?0 -
Hi Kali
I can't even get that far as when i hit the button and select 2018/2019 it says i have no pays even though they appear when i ask for the pays for last financial year. Can't call cause they aren't taking any calls as they are at capacity. Supposed to be processing payroll today for 2019/2020. Heard anyone else having same problem? did you resolve yours?
