Error: 'The End of Next Period date for Pay Frequency is after the Tax Year End date

After clicking OK in End of Pay or changing the End of Next Period, an error appears: “The End of Next Period date for pay frequency [code] is after the Tax Year End date. Would you like to continue?”

The End of Pay process creates the next period end date based on the pay frequency. For example, on closing a weekly pay, the next period end date will be generated as 7 days from the period being closed.

This message appears when you do End of Pay and the Next Period End Date is in the new tax year.

This is only a confirmation message so you can click Yes to continue with the End of Pay Process.

If you need to make any adjustments as part of the End of Year process, this date needs to be changed to a date in this tax year (i.e., on or before 30 June). Ideally, the date would be updated prior to commencing the adjustment; however this can be done at any point prior to running End of Pay.

To change the current period end date:

  1. Go to Payroll, Maintenance, General, Pay Frequencies.

  2. Edit the Pay Frequency to be adjusted.

  3. Click on the unprocessed Period End Date and select or enter a date on or before 30 June.

  4. Click OK to update the details.

Once you have completed the adjustment, you will need to return to this area before commencing the first pay period in the new financial year, as you may need to update the Period End Date to a date on or after 1 July.
