Backdate Xero STP Payroll Records

I need an experienced payroll specialist to amend my Single Touch Payroll data in Xero so it shows that one employee received no employer payments during the last financial year. She was on government-funded paid maternity leave for that entire period and was marked as Inactive in my payroll.

Your task is to:
• open the closed pay runs for that year, remove any employer earnings recorded for her, and keep all other staff data untouched
• lodge an STP update event (or an amended finalisation) through Xero so the ATO receives the corrected figures
• supply proof of successful ATO acceptance and a brief summary of the changes made

I will give you accountant-level access to Xero as soon as we agree on the scope. A strong grasp of Australian payroll legislation, STP Phase 2 reporting and Xero’s amendment workflow is essential.

Acceptance criteria: the ATO portal must display zero YTD earnings for the employee for that financial year, and Xero should show her earnings removed while other employee records remain unchanged.
