Correct pay errors
You may find pay errors in the 1st or final SUE report. here are instructions on how to amend them.
Correct errors in 1st SUE report
The first SUE report is available to download in EdPay on Friday (day 10) at 9am. This should be checked as soon as possible for any pay errors.
- If your 1st SUE report shows transactions with pay errors, you will need to send in an EP31 to request a SUE adjustment from your school payroll advisor. SUE adjustments can only be made to payments that have already been entered and are visible on the SUE report.
- You must send the completed EP31 by 5pm on Friday (day 10) for adjustments to be processed during the current pay period. Corrections submitted after this cut-off will not be processed until the following pay period.
For more information see: How to submit a SUE report adjustment
- If there are transactions that you did not enter into EdPay before Thursday 5.30pm (eg timesheets or paid leave) and they are not showing on your 1st SUE report, they will not be paid for this pay period unless you apply for an out of cycle payment to be made.
- Out of cycle payments can only be made to correct an error made by Education Payroll, or to prevent employee financial hardship
- For transactions that have not been entered for the employee before the cut-off on Thursday (day 9) at 5:30pm, (eg a DDR timesheet for Friday) please enter these into EdPay, and the employee will be paid in the following pay period. Please let your employee know if this has occurred.
Cut-off times for corrections
If you identify errors in the 1st draft SUE report, you must make corrections before the following cut-off times:
- 5pm on Friday (day 10) for corrections to the 1st SUE Report for the current pay period (paid on day 14)
- 12pm on Thursday (day 2) for corrections to be processed as an Out of cycle payment (paid on day 3)
