You can select all employees individually, or tick "Select all employees", which will automatically tick all employees marked as “YES” in the “Requires finalisation” column. Any employees that you don't want to lodge can be deselected. Employees who do not require finalisation are surrounded by square brackets [example].

Finalise and Lodge

Reference: Button

This button will send the data to the ATO. A confirmation window will display to confirm that the data you are sending is correct. This button will remain inactive until a lodgment period and at least one employee has been selected to require finalisation.

Only employees selected for finalisation will be lodged, with unselected employees remaining in your database with their current information.
