Answer
In the online (web/mobile) app, open the Pays screen and navigate to the pay run that contains the pay you want to remove. Click the Delete Pays button.
The screen lists every completed pay in the current pay run that is eligible for deletion. Each row shows the employee name, pay end date, processed date, gross, tax, and net amounts. Select the pays you want to remove and confirm the deletion.
When Is Deletion Blocked?
A pay will not appear in the deletion list ÔÇö and cannot be deleted ÔÇö if any of the following apply:
- The pay has already been submitted to the ATO through Single Touch Payroll (STP).
- The pay has been sent to a super fund through SuperStream.
- The pay has a linked super contribution already processed.
If a pay is blocked for any of these reasons, it will simply not appear in the list. You can still correct the pay by editing it and, where required, resubmitting to the ATO via STP. Lightning Payroll recommends making corrections as a separate new pay rather than deleting and re-entering, to preserve a clear audit trail.
