Finishing Fortnight for Jobkeeper
Comments

use the NEXT JobKeeper fortnight No as the FINISH FN - otherwise you won't get payment for this current Job Keeper Fortnight that they are still eligible for
Note Reckon had in their instructions to use the same FINISH FN and i am unsure if updated - we found out the hard way that if you put the same FN FINISH date down as the last FN they are eligible you don't get the JK Payment2 -
me too.. how did you rectify? Reckon really should have put a notification out that this is wrong0

I altered the FN on the pay and did an update event but as it was already after the end of the relevant FN / claim cycle final date so it didn't update to the ATO JK section - It was only one employee for us and we had already claimed that cycle so we didn't worry in the end. i believe others have called the ATO and had it manually altered to be included in the claim0

Hi Linda/Rav
By the end of Sept, we are still don't know if we eligible for Jobkeeper 2, so do we still need to use FN13 as finish the Jobkeeper 1?0 -
Should have read Janine Dickson's post before I submitted my last JK payrun through STP. Just received an email (1st.Oct) from ATO stating exactly what Janine posted - "use the NEXT JobKeeper fortnight No as the FINISH FN - otherwise you won't get payment for this current Job Keeper Fortnight that they are still eligible for"
This was not clear in Reckon's user manual (see attached)
All my eligible employees finishes JK on 27th.Sept (FN13). As per Reckon's user guide, I added JOBSEEKER-FINISH-FN13 to the last pay run. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
ATO suggested this, "You need to check that you haven't end dated an employee incorrectly by providing a JOBKEEPER-FINISH-FN13 code in your STP reporting, as this will end date your employees from 13 September; If your employees are eligible for the second fortnight in September you can correct this by sending the code JOBKEEPER-START-FN13 through STP. This will allow you to update your eligible employees and correctly complete your monthly declaration" - not 27 September
I can't do the above as I already have 2 pay runs (one weekly and a monthly) submitted. As such, when you create a $0 pay run for all the employees affected, you 'inherit' all the JK-FINISH-FN13 and JK-TOPUP codes in the STP file. (don't know why). So this is what I did to ensure that only JK-START-FN13 is in the file. Not sure if it's correct but will check with ATO tomorrow.
- Undo the 2 pay runs with JK-FINISH-FN13 and JK-TOPUP pay item
- Delete only the JK-FINISH-FN13 item
- Resubmit the 2 pay runs via STP
- Created an Unscheduled pay run with JK-START-FN13 (may be unnecessary) and submit via STP
To Reckon support ---- This should have been published and the user guide updated. Lots of time lost . I read Reckon's user guide at least TWICE to ensure I get it right. Alas, it was wrong. Please update before more users get into the same predicament as I

Can anyone please advise which payrun and what Jobkeeper finish FN date I should use. We are not applying for Jobkeeper 2 so the last payrun ending 27 September will be the last fortnight we will be claiming for.
Do I put the FN date in my next payrun and will it be FN 13 or 14?
Thanks in advance.

Do nothing, just stop paying any topups
