Employee has no First Name / Given Name – how should I enter them

Question

The employee legally has no given name, and the entire legal name is shown under Surname on the passport.

However, MYOB requires the First Name field to be completed, and it does not allow me to leave it blank.

I do not want to incorrectly split the employee's legal name or create a First Name that does not exist on their identity documents. Could you please advise the correct way to enter this employee in MYOB Business-create a new employee.

I have been in this situation before. Ask them to provide correspondence they have from the ATO ie confirming their TFN or something from MyGov as the name you enter will need to match the ATO. The ATO would have put something in the First Name field.&nbsp;
