JOBKEEPER-TOPUP and STP

The ATO and Single Touch support “Other allowance 1 description” to “Other allowance 4 description”.
When more than 1 are needed then multiple separate entries are used. Single touch has a parameter which user can set specifying the maximum number of “Other” entries in the cvs file.

For settings changes such as specifying the start (or finish) “JobKeeper” fortnight, the notification is to occur only once (not repeatedly each STP event). The amount must be zero, so for Manager I will need to check what happens when 0 or 0.001 is entered. Although as these are one off entries doing it by hand maybe easier.

The changes I was considering were:

  1. Including “Other” amounts in W1. I had assumed all “Payslip Earning Items” would be included but perhaps there are cases I’m not aware of where this is not appropriate.

  2. For “ATO Category” “Allowance- other” use the “Payslip item name” as the “ Other allowance description”
