PLEASE NOTE: SINGLE TOUCH PAYROLL: ONLY required for companies with 20 or more employees. 19 or less DO NOT need this until July 1st 2019.

Single Touch Payroll is NOT in this update. We have applied for deferral while we gain approval from the ATO for our integration. This might take a few weeks to get, so the deferral has been requested. When Single Touch Payroll is available, we will send a further email out, and another update will be required. THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE. We are beholden to the ATO and their timeframes.

Continue to use the system as normal, and you will be able to send these payroll records, backdated, when this feature is available.

Important Message for WINDOWS 10 USERS:

It has come to our attention that there are a couple of reoccurring issues coming up with Windows 10 users. If you are having ANY issues with the software after upgrading to Windows 10, please do the following:

1. Change the date in the system to the following format: dd/mm/yyyy. Windows 10, for some unknown reason, changes the default country and, ultimately, the formatting of the date on the computer. This will cause issues with anything that requires you to enter a date into the system. This is done in Control Panel on your Windows 10 computer (not in Autosoft).

2. When entering Autosoft, you may not have the privileges, or emails may not send correctly. The Windows 10 system has even higher security than Windows 8 or 7 had. Therefore, you will need to right click the Autosoft icon and select “Run As Administrator”.

Please take note of these issues and, if you have any further problems, please speak with your IT Consultant.

Have a nice week.

Jonathan
