🇦🇺 Key Australian Updates
Major Update: Super Remittance V2 Enhancements
This release includes significant upgrades to Super Remittance V2. We've re-engineered the workflow to be faster, more intuitive, and provide a seamless experience.
Proactive Error Handling: You can now validate and resolve data issues before submitting to Wrkr or downloading your SAFF file. This new validation step increases processing accuracy and reduces double-handling.
Support for Multiple Subsidiaries (Same ABN): We've enhanced Super Remittance V2 to support businesses that have multiple subsidiaries operating under the same ABN. The system now uses the Payroll Centre ID from your Payroll Config record to populate the Location ID column in the SAFF export. This ensures accurate differentiation and reporting for your subsidiaries.
Universal SAFF File: You can now download a SAFF file compatible with other super providers and clearing houses, not just Wrkr.
Deployment: All necessary scripts to support the full Super Remittance V2 functionality are included in this release.

Other Australian Fixes
Rates & Thresholds: We've updated the reference-only guide numbers for HELP and SFSS on the AU Rates and Thresholds record. This does not impact any payroll calculations.
Single Touch Payroll (STP): Fixed a bug that could cause an error on the 'send date' field when cancelling an EBMS request.
System Maintenance: Removed several old and unused fields related to terminations and STPv1-era PAYG types to improve system health.
🇨🇦 Key Canadian Updates
Year-End TD1 Process: We've corrected the automated TD1 re-indexing process that runs on January 1st. The system will now correctly carry forward employee TD1/ETP values from the previous year, preventing incorrect overrides. This ensures accurate tax calculations on the first paycheck of the new year.
CPP2 Column Added to Searches: To give you better visibility, we've added the CPP2 column to the "Pay Run Summary - CA" and "Payslip Approval - CA" saved searches.
