Payment Summaries Report doesn’t match the Reconciliation Report

Question

Why doesn’t my Payment Summaries Report match the Reconciliation Report in Payroll Premier

Answer

This is likely to happen when your final pay has a Pay end Date on or before 30th June but has a Date Paid on or after 1st July.

The ATO takes the Date Paid to decide which financial year the pay applies to, even though part or all of the pay period fell before the end of the past financial year.

The Report for Payment Summaries will differ from the Reconciliation Report because the Payment Summaries Report correctly reports on a Date Paid basis, while the Reconciliation Report (and the Empdupe file) uses the Print by Preference, which by default is set to Pay End Date.

 

Workaround

Set the Print by preference to Date Paid.

Care:  changing the print by setting re-indexes the file. If you have a large number of employees over a long period of time, the re-indexing will take a long time – an hour or longer. 

Ignore any Not Responding messages – the re-indexing is slowly progressing. Do not stop the process as it may corrupt the file.   

1.    Make a backup of your file

2.    On the top menu line select File and then Preferences and Printing icon;

3.    Change the Print By box to Date Paid and click Save;

4.    Wait while the re-indexing completes;

5.    Print the Reconciliation Report;

6.    Create the Empdupe file;

7.    Return your preference to Pay End Date.
