Single Touch payroll records a pay event according to the Date Paid rather than the Pay Period Start and End dates. Therefore, regardless of pay period start date and period end dates, if the date paid is in the new financial year, the payment amount is recorded as part of the new financial year earnings.
Attaché Payroll generates a confirmation message if the date paid entered in the Check Pays process is not within that financial year, and you will receive a confirmation message as per below.
You need to click NO to this message, and the pay should be recorded in the new financial year company. Any Single Touch Payroll batch with a date paid outside the current financial year will be rejected.
If you have not done the EOY rollover for payroll, you will need to do so prior to entering pays with a date paid date in the new financial year. See: End of year Quick Reference Guide, Checklist and other resources 2024-25.
