Uploading CSV file to Cloud Aged Care Single Touch Payroll

If you are using another system to manage your payroll and if that system does not support single touch payroll, you have the option to generate a csv file from that system and upload it to Cloud Aged Care.

Once you are registered as a user and setup a business, you can simply go to “Payroll” -> “Upload Pay Slips – From Another System” and upload the csv file your system has generated.

The CSV file specification

This file serves as both the specification and sample for what Cloud Aged Care requires in the csv file. The column names are descriptive enough to show what Cloud Aged Care requires. As always, if you get stuck please let us know and we will sort you out.

Notes

Please note that "client_reference_id" must be a GUID that uniquely identifies an employee. It should not change between different csv files.

STP 2 Changes

25 Oct 2022: As we are getting ready for STP2, we have added 12 additional fields to the csv file. While these fields are expected in the csv file, the values in them will not be used until STP2 is up and running. At this stage, you can either assign a 0 value to these fields or calculate them as per the STP2 records. The names of the fields are self-explanatory and correspond to the STP2 fields if you want to start populating the figures in order to be ready for STP2.

The new fields are:

overtime_ytd,bonus_commsion_ytd,directors_fees_ytd,child_support_withholding_amount_sec_45,lump_sum_w_amount_ytd,leave_amount_c,leave_amount_u,leave_amount_p,leave_amount_w,leave_amount_a,leave_amount_o,child_support_garnishee_amount_sec_72a

Addtional value rows:

0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
