FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about our single touch payroll software

General
Prospective customer questions

Is seSQue Payroll STP 2 compliant?
Yes, seSQue Payroll is STP 2 compliant.
What devices does seSQue Payroll work on?

Can I transfer from another payroll provider to seSQue Payroll during a financial year?
Yes you can, but changing payroll providers during a financial year must be carefully planned. Implemented incorrectly, it may lead to data duplication on the ATO side. Find out more here.
Can I add multiple businesses to my seSQue Payroll account?
If you are an agent account holder (Ultimate subscription), then yes you can add multiple businesses to your account. If you are the owner of multiple businesses and want to access them all from one regular account (Advanced subscription) please contact us to discuss your options.

Knowledge base
Existing customer questions

What is the Software ID?
The Software ID, also known as Software Service ID (SSID), is a unique identifier used to distinguish an instance of software. In seSQue Payroll, this is your subscription number and it is automatically generated by the system during your account setup. You must register your SSID with the ATO before submitting your first STP report, otherwise your lodgements will fail. Find out more here.
How do I add the superannuation fund details of my employees?
Start by adding all the superannuation funds you work with to your business record. Then edit each employee's record and select their superannuation fund from the list. Find out more here.
Why are no employees listed in my pay run?
The most common reason for not finding an employee listed in your pay run is a mismatch between the pay cycle of the employee and the pay cycle of the pay run. Only employees with a matching pay cycle will be listed, e.g. a weekly pay run will only list employees on a weekly pay cycle. Find out more here.
Can I add annual leave payments to a pay run?
Yes, the paid subscriptions of seSQue Payroll do support paid leave payments and many others such as allowances, deductions, salary sacrifice etc.
Is it possible to change the payment period for processed data?
No, once a pay run is lodged with the ATO the payment period can no longer be changed. This is done in order to avoid potential data duplication on the ATO side. Find out more here.
How long does it take for a lodgement to be processed by the ATO?
It usually takes a couple of minutes for the ATO to process a lodgement. Occasionally it may take longer, particularly during the busier month of June. If you notice a pay run still pending after 24 hours let us know and we will investigate the delay for you.

Subscription
Subscription related questions

Is there a time limit on the free subscription?
There is no time limit on the free Basic subscription. You are welcome to use it for as long as you want.
Is there a minimum charge on the paid subscriptions?
There is no minimum charge on any of our paid subscriptions. The monthly price is calculated based on the number of active employees. You pay only for what you use.
How can I upgrade/downgrade my subscription?
You can upgrade your Basic subscription to Advanced from the Subscription page. You can also downgrade your Advanced subscription to Basic from the same page. Some restrictions apply, find out more here. For upgrading/downgrading Ultimate subscriptions please contact us.
Can I upgrade my subscription from Advanced to Ultimate?
The short answer is no. Basic and Advanced subscriptions work with regular accounts (users reporting STP for their own business). The Ultimate subscription works with agent accounts (users reporting STP on behalf of other businesses). You select your account type during the initial setup and you cannot change it afterwards. If you have selected the wrong account type by mistake let us know and we will assist you.
