When you set up Single Touch Payroll, your payroll details were checked to identify any employee details that need updating. What gets checked?

But you can manually check your details at any time via the Payroll command centre > Payroll Reporting > Check Payroll Details.

If any issues are found in your employee's details, they'll be listed like in this example:

Here's what to do:

To edit your employees' details
  1. If you're not already on the Check Payroll Details window, go to the Payroll command centre > Payroll Reporting > Check Payroll Details. The Check Payroll Details window appears listing the results.
  2. If an employee card is listed in the results, click the blue zoom arrow to open the employee's card. The Card Information window appears.

  3. Update the required details in the employee's card. See the FAQs below for details about all the information that's required in your employees' card. What if I don't have an employee's TFN?
  4. Click OK to save your changes and return to the Check Payroll Details window.
  5. Click Check Payroll Details to refresh the list to see if everything is done.
  6. Repeat the above steps for any other employee cards which need updating.

On the Profile tab:

    Do you employ working holiday makers?

    If you choose Working holiday maker as the Income Type, you'll also need to choose the worker's Country of origin. Also check that the correct Tax Table is assigned to working holiday makers based on your business's working holiday maker registration status.

Payroll categories

Wage, deduction, and superannuation payroll categories used in the current payroll year are included in the check. You can access your payroll categories in AccountRight via Payroll > Payroll Categories.

Each of these must have an ATO reporting category assigned. By default, this is set to To be assigned, so you know what payroll categories still need assigning.

How to assign ATO reporting categories

What if I don't have an employee's TFN?

You can use any of these TFNs provided by the ATO.

  • 111 111 111 for a new payee has not made a TFN declaration, (28 days have not passed).

  • 444 444 444 for a payee who is an Australian Government pensioner payee.
  • 000 000 000 if your payee chose not to quote a TFN and has not claimed an exemption from quoting a TFN or does not fit into any of the above categories.

Check with the ATO if you are unsure what to enter.
