Is Employee Termination separate payrun required if no benefits are to be paid?

[BellePayroll]

I have an employee who resigned with negative annual leave. The business owner decided not to deduct this from his final payslip. He has no other termination benefits to be paid. Do I still need to do a separate payrun (with zero pay) like I would if I was terminating an employee with benefits to be paid? Do I need to adjust his leave before terminating him?

Thank you!

Hi @BellePayroll,

Generally speaking, if no leave is to be paid out, you will not need to process a separate pay ($0 pay) for this employee. Your next step would be finalising and terminating the employee through Single Touch Payroll, see below:

• Terminate an employee in Single Touch Payroll reporting

Once you have done this, you can then enter the termination date in the employee card and it will zero out all leave entitlements, so, no adjustments you need to do manually. 

If you have any further queries on this, please let me know.

That's great. Thank you so much for the quick reply.
