Total gross salary shown in the STP report is not match to Pay run Report
Hi all,
I’ve encountered an issue with the STP report in Reckon One for the pay run dated 21 March.
The total gross salary shown in the STP report is $306,939.50, whereas the Pay Run report shows a total of $316,446.82 ($298,471.53 + $23,833.25 - $5,857.96), resulting in a discrepancy of $9,507.32.
Upon investigation, I found that one employee's salary has been excluded from the STP report. Interestingly, this employee is not new—we’ve processed their salary in previous runs—yet only their allowance and PAYG amounts have been included in the STP data.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, do you know how to resolve it?
Many thanks,
Patrick

Hi @Patrick_8319167,
Please verify whether the employee's data is excluded in the report by navigating to Employee > Tax. If it is not, I recommend reverting the pay run to draft status and then marking it as Paid. Ensure that the employee's earnings are reflected in the report. Then Send as an Update.
I hope it helps.
Best regards,

Hi Karran,
I’ve reviewed the data, and it hasn’t been excluded from ATO reporting.
It’s quite odd, though—the STP data includes the allowance and PAYG amounts for this employee, but it doesn’t include his salary.

Hi @Patrick_8319167,
Could you please confirm if a new pay item was used for this employee? Additionally, kindly review the Payroll settings to verify the configuration of the pay item you used on this payrun.

Hi Karren,
The pay item “Back Pay” was used for this employee for the first time. However, it’s not a newly created item—it has been used previously for another employee.
I’ve reviewed the settings for “Back Pay” and confirmed that they are the same as those for the “Normal Hours” pay item.

HI @Patrick_8319167,
The item looks fine to me. It seems to have migrated from Payroll Premier. Can we try creating a new Backpay item. Revert the pay run to draft and use that new item instead. Then send as an Update to ATO.
I hope it helps.

Hi Karren,
I’ve followed your recommendation to create a new Backpay item and reverted the pay run to draft to use the new item instead. After sending the update to the ATO, how can I confirm whether the issue has been resolved? The STP submission is showing a $0 balance, so I’m unsure if everything is now correct.
Many thanks

Hi @JEN,
This option will display only the Year-to-Date total; however, it can be used as a reference.
Please go to you Portal. Click GovConnect on the left Panel.
Please access your Single Touch Payroll. You will find the Details of your recent submission under Reckon One/Payroll. If you are unable to see Reckon Payroll, you may add the product at the top of the page.
I hope it helps.
Best regards,
Karren
