When a pay period crosses over the End of Financial Year

If the Payment Date and Pay Period ending dates of your final pay period for the financial year are in the SAME financial year (e.g. Payment Date 30th June or earlier with a Pay Period Ending Date of 30th June or earlier) the Tax Scales of the CURRENT financial year will apply to this pay period. No further action is needed. This also applies as to why the Working Holiday Maker Tax percentage doesn't reset.
​
However, if the Payment Date and Pay Period ending dates of your final pay period for a financial year are in DIFFERENT financial years (e.g. Payment Date July 1st or later with a Pay Period Ending Date 30th June or earlier), the Tax Scales of the NEW financial year will apply to this pay period. This may require us to make a manual adjustment to the Cease Date of the previous financial year's tax scale and the Commence Date of the new financial year's tax scale in the back end of the system to ensure that the calculations for this pay period are made using the correct tax scales.
​
If you find yourself in this scenario please raise a ticket with our Support Team as we may be able to update the Cease and Commence dates to reflect the correct timing of your pay run. However, if you have multiple pay calendars or Working Holiday Makers this may need to be adjusted manually.
