My SIngle touch payroll submissions for the last 3 weeks have come back in error. We have had one new employee I have checked and have had others check his details to make sure its all Ok and have even deleted his details and added them again, to no avail any other suggestions would be great.

    Hi Jo,
    What is the error message being returned for these pay events?
    Go into one of the individual pay events by clicking 'Detail' and the ATO message will be at the top of the page.

    I Have had the same problem now for months, the error I get is that a character should be A-Z a-z 0-9  all the different characters are listed. I have been on the ph to reckon many times and they have gone through the details for each employee and have not been able to find anything, the only time it is success is when I submit a payroll for only a couple of employees who are paid monthly, this seemed to start after a new employee was added and since then I have added at least another 4 employees.

    Hello Jo and Helen

    Have you checked that you have given the employee a number?

    Hi Jo - have you opened the .json file with notepad and looked at the data contained therein, to see if it is more evident where the problem lies?

    Same. I’ve even had them remotely go through every employee. It’s frustrating

    Hi Helen,
    Those error messages suggest there are invalid characters listed within the .json file. Have you checked each employee for invalid characters in their record in the accounting software?

    When you spoke to our support team, did they validate your .json file?
