Adjusting a negative super OTE amount
This page explains how to adjust super OTE errors in your STP submission when the super OTE amount is negative.
The errors occur when you are adjusting payments for the previous financial year that don't have matching super OTE amounts for the current year.
For example, reversing sick leave and paying as Workcover. Sick Leave is included in Super OTE but Workcover is not.
There are two steps to adjusting the super OTE.
Setup a Super OTE Adjustment allowance
Process the adjustment in a manual pay.
