How do I backpay myself? Turned from a sole trader into a company 4 months ago however was not using the payslip function and now need to have them for my bas!

Hi Usercontact13,

Thank you so much for your question on backpay. 

To pay it, you're going to add the back pay owed in ordinary earnings in the next scheduled pay run so...

• click on Abby's name to expand her record in the pay run
• click on the actions button within his record
• select the Add Lump Sum Payment option
  
  
   
• once the new earnings line is in the pay run click on the down arrow and select the Back Pay pay category
• enter $5 into the pay rate field (ie. the difference between the old and the new rate)
• enter 83 hours into the Units field
• Select method A and enter 9 into the weekly pay periods field
  
  
   

You can add a note either in the notes field of the Back Pay line or at the bottom of the record to explain the details of the back pay if necessary.

Entering the number of pay periods aggregates the PAYG tax so that Abby will only pay the same amount of tax she would have paid had he been paid at the higher rate since 1 July.

Thank you and please let us know if you require any additional assistance.
