Warning

Explanation

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) will not accept Year-to-Date (YTD) union fee deductions that are negative (in other words, less than $0). If you have not entered this data correctly, the platform will display the above warning when you go to submit a Single Touch Payroll (STP) lodgement.

Solution

You will need to first unlock the pay run so you can edit the relevant employee information. To read further information on this feature, you can refer to this article. You will then need to update your employees' YTD union fee deductions, save the changes, then finalise the pay run again. You may need to refresh your pay event or update event data for these changes to display on your screen.
