STP Submissions for Legal Entities

In compliance with STP reporting, in Dayforce, you can process payroll with multiple legal entities regardless of whether they are processed in the same pay run or not. If you have multiple legal entities on the same environment, you can process pay runs by:

• Enabling STP submission for legal entities to use a parent entity
• Enabling STP submission for legal entities without nominating a parent entity

You can set up a legal entity for an individual entity inside the same corporate or economic group for an employee or configure the legal entity information reported in STP independently of where the intermediary or registered agent is not applicable.

When you commit the pay run, you can declare and authorise STP submissions as indicated on the legal entity in a pay run by clicking OK in the STP declaration & authorisation dialog box.

To configure parent legal entity information:

1. Go to Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal entity and select the legal entity.
2. Click the STP Parameters tab.
3. In the Payroll is Run By section, select the Use Information Provided option to choose a legal entity with its payroll that is run by its own employee or a business intermediary in the employee setup.
4. Select the following option:
   • Business Intermediary / Registered Agent: Sets up a legal entity whose payroll is run by an authorised business intermediary or registered agent.
5. Leave the Use the Default Parent Legal Entity Information checkbox selected if this entity is a default parent entity for related child legal entities on the same environment. If there are business scenarios where multiple parents exist, clear the checkbox for a non-default parent entity.
6. Enter information where applicable for Intermediary/Registered Agent ABN, Registered agent number, Contact Name, Email Address, or Telephone number.

To configure legal entity information for multiple legal entities to use a parent entity:

1. Go to Org Setup > Org Payroll Setup > Legal entity and select the legal entity.
2. Click the STP Parameters tab.
3. In the Payroll is Run By section, select one of the following options:
   • Use Default Parent Legal Entity: Uses the default legal entity as the parent.
   • Use Another Parent Legal Entity: Choose a legal entity as the parent in the Select an option drop-down list.
   • Note: All child legal entities with a parent will use Software subscription ID (SSID) of the parent. SSID is important to perform authentication linking between entities’ ABN with the right SSID. The linking can be performed through the business’ Access Manager per ATO’s article.
