How do I ensure the EOFY bonuses I'm paying are filed in this FY25-26?

Updated: February 2026

Bonuses are a wonderful way to show appreciation or to celebrate success at the end of the financial year. Depending on the pay day of the bonuses, this transaction could spill into the new financial year.

To keep the filing in the FY25-26, we need to process your pay on 30th March for a pay day on the 31st March.

A pay day after this will be processed and filed in April.

*Same-day pay on Tuesday 31st March will be filed in the next financial year (FY26-27).
