Return to Work (aka Lump Sum W)

In STP Phase 1 - Return to work payments were part of "Gross Payments"

In STP Phase 2 - Return to work paymnts are reported separately as requirement of Services Australia

• All return to work payments are expected to be reported as "Lump sum W", therefore the ATO Reporting Category must be set to "Return to work".
• Temporary workers (i.e. Income Types: WHM and SWP) are entitled to return to work payments but their tax rates should not be changed when receiving these payments. This may mean your database requires two sets of allowances:
  • Non WHM or SWP - Tax override type set to "Return to work"
  • WHM or SWP - Tax override type set to "Blank"
