Termination and STP

[yoshu]

Hi,

I came to know, just today, that when an employee is terminated we need to report it to STP. (guess who wasn't paying attention?)

I was looking at the STP finalisation and saw the info in there.

This employee resigned in March this year. How do I go about reporting this on STP?

His last day was on the pay day. So I paid him as normal. Then on the same day I did another payment just for his unused holiday pay and reported to ATO as normal. 

What do I need to do?

Hello @yoshu 

First, I suggest you double check that you have followed all the steps in processing the employee's final pay. Please refer to this Help Article: Processing a final pay.

Then, please have a look at this Help Article: Terminate an employee in Single Touch Payroll reporting. You'll find the steps to complete a termination in STP outlined here, including finalising the employee. Fortunately, this is a step that can be done at the end of the payroll year anyway.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance on this topic.
