If you need to make changes to a pay after you've finalised your Single Touch Payroll reporting, you have to undo the finalisation.

You would undo the finalisation when you need to:

• report on an employee who has left the business has returned within the same payroll year
• correct an employee's figures before they complete their tax return
• correct an overpayment (if it's an underpayment, you can just adjust the employee's next pay – even if the underpayment occurred in a previous financial year)
• update payroll or ATO reporting categories.

Correcting overpayments and underpayments

If an employee has been overpaid or underpaid in the current financial year, you just need to adjust their next pay to account for the overpayment or underpayment. See Fixing a payroll overpayment or underpayment.

Only year to date (YTD) amounts are sent to the ATO as part of Single Touch Payroll reporting. If your pay adjustment affects YTD amounts, the updated amounts will be sent with your next pay run.
