After enabling STP2 you can no longer produce Payment Summaries post 2018.
From 1st July 2018 it is optional to provide a Payment Summary to an Employee if the Employer is reporting to the ATO via STP Reporting.
Please see the ATO link below for more information:
Instead, this information is made available to your employees as an Income Statement through ATO online services in myGov or the ATO app. To create a myGov account, see create a myGov account and link it to the ATO.
If an employee requests a summary of their earnings or tax information you can provide an Employee Previous Earnings Report. Additionally, advise the employee to access their Income Statement via their myGov account.
To see what was reported via STP for an employee, go to Payroll, Transactions, Import and Export, STP Update, select the employee and financial year, then use Print Report.
After an STP Update is successfully submitted and returns a Success status, it can take up to 72 hours for the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to update employees' payment summaries to "Tax ready." While updates often occur sooner, the exact timing depends on the ATO's processing volume. Employers can monitor the status of their STP submissions to ensure successful reporting.
