resubmitting a file via STP to correct an allocation error

Ch3ryl

I need to update a payroll already lodged via STP. The error is in the classification of the wages. How do I proceed to do this.

TIA

If you have corrected it within the software/Paycheque - & the employee is in subsequent STP submissions - it will automatically be overwritten when you submit the following one. This is because STP UPDATES YTD BALANCES (rather than just reporting a specific pay run's totals)

If you really want to do a correction at the time (prior to the next submission) you can, generate an Update Event file for just that specific employee(s)

If the error affects all the employees, you can submit a Full File Replacement

... but it's really not essential, if you're submitting the same employees each pay run 😊

Just adding to Shaz's advice above, if you'd like to action an Update Event, there's info on how to create one in the help guide below -

Thank you for your response but which avenue do I use - Full replacement or new event?

Update Event is for a specific employee(s)

Full File Replacement is for an error relating to everyone & can only replace the most recent submission.
