We are currently investigating an issue causing NZ Employment information and Employee details files to remain in "queued" rather than being successfully submitted. For any urgent filings whilst we investigate this issue, customers may manually submit these by switching their payroll file's IRD settings to manual, downloading the CSV and then uploading the CSV to their myIR. We apologise for the inconvenience and will provide an update within the hour. Thank you.

This incident has now been resolved. A small number of pay day filing submissions remain in a "queued" state and will attempt to process now that the underlying issue has been resolved. For any that remain in this state following the weekend, EH will contact customers directly with instructions to remediate. Thank you for your patience.
