This video demonstrates how to do a Single Touch Payroll 2 lodgement.

This is explained more fully in the other tutorial on payroll. As the video shows most of the information is already saved on the employee's set up information and therefor automatically populates on the pay slip.

Also worth noting is that we use a batch as that is the thing that gets lodged to the ATO. We don't want to lodge individual pay slips separately of course.

After adding all the pay slips, go back to the batch and click on the STP lodge button. All the information is generated based on the pay slips entered. All you have to do is review it, fill in the declaration and lodge it.

It's lodged in the standard way by selecting your AUS key, agreeing to the declaration and clicking the Lodge button.

Once you have lodged the batch the status of the batch is updated to Lodge complete. The pay slips are then locked to prevent accidental changes.
