STP - terminating an employee but still obligated to pay worker's compensation

sal2107

Good afternoon

Could anyone please advise on the correct procedure in notifying the ATO of an employee termination date, when the business is still obligated to pay worker's compensation (and so withold and pay tax) for a few weeks after the termination date?

If I advise the ATO of the termination date through the Payroll Reporting section as I am supposed to do - will I still be able to report the Worker's Compensation payments as normal?

Thank you

Hi @sal2107 

 

Thanks for your post. I'd recommend checking with the ATO on which date you should be reporting, the date they finished employment or the date worker's comp finished. From a software perspective you can enter the termination date in the Payroll reporting centre once all payments have been made.

 

Please let me know if you need further help.
