Pay Allocation Summary
Within the Pay Allocation Summary screen the following changes have been made:
- The Pay Allocation Summary screen will now be broken up into 3 parts. The Summary (1st section) will show the breakdown of the Payroll transactions. We have separated the ‘Total Reportable Income’ values from any ‘Total Non- Reportable Income’ values. In doing this it allows a clearer understanding of the values reported via the STP file.
- The other 2 newly created sections of this screen have been labelled
- Single Touch Payroll – Income
- Single Touch Payroll – Other
- These tables enable the system to show how the Payroll values are being processed and that they match the Payroll values reported. It is important for the Pay Allocation Summary Total Reportable Income value to match the Single Touch Payroll – Income table Total Income value.
