Please be aware that the response process for this is with the ATO and their processing times can vary from anywhere between 2 hours to 2-3 days.



Generating Employee EOFY Reports

Employees can retrieve their submitted records from the ATO at any time via their MyGov accounts, however, if you and your employee prefer you can generate reports from ClockOn with the relevant detail.
 

This can be done from the final step on the STP screen using the Print button. From there you have the option to produce individual employee STP reports. These can either be printed or email blasted to the employees directly.


Alternatively, these can be printed outside of the STP screen from the Reports Manager, under the Payroll Report (PAYG) heading.
