Single Touch Payroll - End User Testing

Single Touch Payroll - End User Testing

Jun 14, 2018

Listed below are some of the scenarios that Synergetic has utilised to test end to end processes. 

You may also wish to complete these yourself to ensure your upgrade and processes complete successfully.

It may be best to execute some scenarios on your test server (e.g. Terminating Employees).

When testing, please ensure that you are in Test Mode.

NOTE: When 'Live' please be aware of these checkboxes as they should not be modified once enabled and your site is allowed to send to the ATO.
