Online Services: Payroll Test Data

Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the payroll test data have been provided for two purposes:

• to help payroll software developers decide if they will meet the calculation and recording elements of the Payroll Standard and Pensioner Payroll Standard
• as a customer service initiative to help payroll software developers test updates to their software

The purpose of the Additional Test Data document is to provide test data for some payroll functions that are not part of the current Payroll Standard/Pensioner Payroll Standard requirements.
