Employment Information Report [NZ]

Overview

The Payroll > Process Payroll > Employment Information (EI) report allows you to transmit employment information to Inland Revenue (IR).

A file will be generated in the EI report for each pay run or amendment to a pay run in your portal. Pay run files will be created when a pay run reaches a status of Paid (ie the bank file has been downloaded).

The EI report includes date on all employees, both PAYE and contractor, paid within a pay run. The onscreen report displays the below information:

Pay Run	The Astute pay run number is reported to IR
Pay Date	The pay date, formatted as DD-MM-YYYY
Payees	The number of employees being reported as part of the pay run
Taxable Wages	The total taxable wages in the pay run
