Employees have been given pay rises effective 1 July 2022. We have already lodged the monthly pay events for July and August 2022 with the ATO and employees were paid.

Hi paulak1,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

If you have updated the pay rate of the employees. You can either unlock the previous pay run or create an ad-hoc pay run with the corrections, and then create and submit an updated pay event after. Just a heads up if there are super payments processed for the pay run affected you'll be unable to unlock and refinalise them.

To unlock a pay run:

1. From the Employees dashboard page, click on the Pay Runs tab.
2. Locate and select the pay run to open the details.
3. Click on Pay run actions, and click on Unlock.
4. Enter a comment about why you unlocked the pay run.
5. Click on Unlock.

Then, make the corrections on the pay run and finalise them once more and then you can create and lodge an updated pay event on the Single Touch Payroll page.

If you have processed super payments for the pay run affected, for more detailed steps on how to create an ad hoc pay run, you can check this link here.

To create an update event:

1. Click on the Employees tab, and click on Reports.
2. Click on Single Touch Payroll.
3. Click on Create an update event.
4. Select a financial year and pay schedule.
5. Click on Create.

Once done, the year-to-date of the employee should be updated on the ATO side using the create update event.

Post again in the Community if you have more questions.
