Hi Loaders2810
That error pops up when the termination date is before the start date on the employee's card. If you've rehired someone, you might need to adjust the start date to the original one, not the rehired one. However, I would recommend not deleting the original termination date, as it might cause issues later. You could create a new employee record with the same TFN and details. This keeps the original employment history and lets you manage the new employment separately. See this helpful article about reinstating employees for more detailed information. Remember that it's always good to chat with your payroll advisor or the ATO for the best action in your situation. Let me know if you need more help!

Hi Shella
Thank you for your reply.
I understand why the error is appearing, and have gone over the information available in reinstating an employee several times. I can confirm that we followed these steps when they recommenced. And the advice is relevant to the reinstating falling in the same financial year as the termination.
if I was to go back to the original start date, and keep the termination date from earlier employment, will that not consequently make him inactive.
I have spoken with my accountant and they advise that I need to work with MyOb to rectify this.
if I create a new employee card won’t I have to redo all payrolls that this employee falls in to capture the earnings against the correct profile?
I have asked the ATO and they also tell me to speak with our software provider.
Hi Loaders2810,
Did you find a solution for this? I have just found I have the same problem and cannot terminate the employee for the second time due to these errors.
Hi MaxOOP,
If you're getting an error CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000282 it relates to a terminated employee. To fix the error, kindly go to the STP reporting center > Employee terminations tab and make sure that the terminated employees have a termination reason, and the termination date is after the start date.
To update those details, you will need to remove the termination by clicking on Undo, you can then re-do the termination.
I hope this helps!
Regard,
Earl
