Pay runs may only be deleted if the status is draft (not lodged) or posted and published.


There are two ways to delete a pay run.

To delete a pay run that is still in draft status and not yet lodged, from the main menu go to Payroll > Payroll Events > Pay Run.

From the pay run summary screen, select the pay run to delete and then select the Delete button.


Alternatively, Open the pay run and go to the More menu. Select Delete from the drop-down menu.


For either method, confirm Ok to delete the pay run.


You will receive a notification to show the pay run has been deleted successfully.


To delete a pay run that has been published, first the published report must be deleted. From the main menu go to My Lodgments > Saved Reports.

Select the report you wish to delete.


Confirm you wish to delete the selected report.


This removes the report from the Saved Reports list. Return to the pay run summary screen and now select the same pay run and delete as per instructions above.

A pay run that has been lodged with the ATO may not be deleted; however, it may be edited and lodged again as an updated event.


See Editing Pay Runs and Updating Pay Events for details.
