Fringe Benefits (Employee Level Information)

Below is listed information on how Synergetic populates the ATO Single Touch Payroll Pay Event - Employee. This page is structured around the Pay Event message structure provided by the ATO. Some of the elements in this Event are of considerable complexity and users are encouraged to read the source ATO documentation to fully understand STP and the rules around the creation of Pay Event elements.

Note: The Pay Event is made up of nodes and elements. Elements make up a node, a node may have one or many elements. Child nodes are nested within parent nodes. Not every node and element will be present in every Pay Event. If for a particular Event, the data for an element(s) or node is not present in Synergetic, then those elements and / or nodes will not be created in the Pay Event. There are some exclusions, where a false value, or similar is reported, eg if Final Event Indicator is blank, a "false" is reported against Final Event Indicator.
