ECI v6.0 does not validate the Payroll Premier 2010/11 Empdupe file

Legacy KB ID: 3615

Question

Why isn’t the Empdupe file created by Payroll Premier 2010/11 not validated by the ATO’s ECI v6.0? It makes a reference to Voluntary Agreement Employees:

WARNING 1   The Payment type field is '003' (voluntary agreement) therefore the Payee tax file number field must be zero filled, but we found:

                   Payment type [Position 8-10] = '003'

                   Payee tax file number [Position 11-19] = '111111111'

Answer

This issue is a warning only and is not a fatal error.

Upload your Empdupe file to the ATO -  ECI v6.0 will accept the Empdupe.

 

 

Additional Note

This problem will be encountered when an employee on a Voluntary Agreement has a Tax File Number included on his record.  ECI v6.0 is expecting that field to be blank.  However, Payroll Premier requires that all Employees have a TFN entered on their record.  If no TFN is recorded, then in the Tax Scale field (where you select voluntary Agreement) you must select Tax File Number Not Recorded, and the top marginal tax rate will be applied to total earnings.
