The following issues have been addressed since the last upgrade​

  • (AU) JobKeeper Allowance Payment Release

  • (AU) STP – Reportable Allowance YTD values were reporting incorrectly in the first generated STP Excel spreadsheet during payrun.

  • (AU) STP  – The bank processing passed to STP was dependent on a flag to create an EFT flat file and employees are being paid by EFT. Removed this dependency. If a bank processing date is entered, that value will be used. Otherwise the payrun end date will be used.
