Before nominating

Make sure each eligible employee has completed a JobMaker employee notice to verify they meet the eligibility requirements. You don't need to send the completed notice to the ATO but keep a copy for your records. To learn more about the employee notice or to download a sample, visit the ATO website.

1. In AccountRight, go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Reporting.
2. Click Payroll Reporting Centre.

3. Click the JobMaker tab.

For hourly-based employees, run the Payroll Advice report for the JobMaker period to see their paid hours (Reports menu > Index to Reports > Payroll tab > Payroll Advice). For salaried employees, check the Hours in Pay Period in their card (Card File > Cards List > Employees > open the card > Payroll details tab > Wages).

1. In AccountRight, go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Reporting.
2. Click Payroll Reporting Centre.

3. Click the JobMaker tab.

   1. Click the ellipsis and choose Declare for claim period.
      
   2. Click Declare.
      
   3. Enter the name of the Authorised sender and click Send.
5. Repeat for each eligible employee you need to declare.

 You'll see the date each employee's declaration was sent.

If you accidentally sent a declaration to the ATO for an ineligible employee, you can remove the declaration.

The payments from the ATO will appear in AccountRight when your bank feed transactions appear.

• If you've already recorded a receive money transaction for the deposit (as described below), you can match the bank feed transaction to it.
• If you haven't already recorded a receive money transaction for the deposit, you can do so straight from the Bank Feeds window. When creating the receive money transaction, allocate the deposit to the income account we set up earlier (the steps below will show you what this means).

For details about how to work with bank feed transactions, see Approving a bank feed.

You'll need to manually record a receive money transaction, like this:

1. Go to the Banking command centre and click Receive Money to open the Receive Money window.
2. In the Deposit to Account field, choose the bank account the payment went into.
3. If you've set up a card for the ATO or Australian Government (for example), choose this card in the Payor field.
4. In the Amount field, enter the payment amount.
5. Enter a Memo to describe this transaction. This'll make it easier to identify the transaction later.
6. In the Acct No. field on the first line, choose the income account we created earlier. The Name and Amount will appear.
   Here's our example:
   
7. The Tax code will be based on the one you specified when creating the income account (N-T), so you shouldn't need to change this.
8. Click Record.
