Pay Wages using the Pay Wages function

Pay Wages functionality is used to generate payroll entries. It is not a fully-functional payroll system, but you can use it to generate employee payment entries common to insolvent entities.

 In July 2022  Single Touch Payroll 2 (STP2) was activated. Insol6 introduced STP2 functionality in v2022.05 release. Information on STP2 and how to enable it in Insol6 can be found here

STP Report

As from v2020.03 the Employee STP Payment Summary Listing report can now be run from within an employee wages batch.  When run from that location, the report will only report on payments within the batch.

Reporting wages on F5602/5603

As from v2020.03 when wages are paid to employees, each payment transaction will now report in the receipts and payments detail listing (eg F5602 Detailed R&P) as the net amount paid to the employee rather than the previous situation where the gross wages were reported as a payment with the withholding amounts reporting as a negative payment.  This change was made so that wages payments report consistently with employee dividend payments.  This change will only apply to new payments entered after the version is upgraded.  

As you can see from the below example Payment pre v2020.03 reports each line item of the payment. Post v2020.03 reports the net value of the payment.

There is also the ability to flag an existing payment as an employee wages payment on the advanced toolbar of the payment screen if required so the payment reports the net value. Unticking this option on Post v2020.03 wages transactions will allow each line item to be reported. NB This change must be done on each transaction.
