STP Update

Form ID: (MP.PP.50.22)

The STP Update form lets you send a Single Touch Payroll update event. Normally, employees' Single Touch Payroll data is updated during the pay run, when STP data for a pay is sent to the ATO. In certain rare cases, it may be necessary to update employees' STP data outside of a pay run. This function updates the STP data for all active employees; no payer information is sent.
Note: When an employee is terminated, a finalisation declaration is automatically included in the STP batch for the pay run that they were terminated in.
