How do I make payroll payments? | pay.com.au Help Centre

You can make Payroll payments manually, or by importing an ABA file. If it is your first time, you'll be asked to upload a copy of your Employee Remuneration Report.

IMPORTANT: Payroll payments will only be processed if all payees are listed on the provided document. Make sure to upload an updated report whenever paying a new employee.

Watch our how-to videos here. Or follow the steps below:

In the main menu, select Make a Payment.
Select Payroll Payment.
Select the Upload button and attach your employee remuneration report (from Xero or by filling the template. This will be required if it is your first time payroll payment or first time payment to a new employee).
Choose how you would like to enter payee information as below, and follow the on-screen prompts to finalise your payroll payment(s).

Enter manually

Search for an existing payee, or select Add New Recipient.
Enter the payment amount and payment date.
Tip: Current day is pre-selected, but you can also queue future payments.
Enter a description for yourself and a description for your payee to see.
Tip: Descriptions will appear on the remittance advice sent to you and your payee via email (if you have provided an email for the payee).

Import from ABA

Select the Upload button and attach the ABA file (created with your accounting software).
Confirm recipients and payment amounts, checking each row’s box to confirm.

Note: Ensure no special characters are used within the ABA file. Should any errors appear, you will need to amend the ABA file as suggested before re-attempting to upload an updated batch file.
