Hello DawnJust posted what was done to solve our issue.I've repeated it for you here.&nbsp;he stated and was terminated in May of last year&nbsp;He recommenced in August.&nbsp;We changed the start date to the new date.That's when the error messages started.&nbsp;We changed his start date to the original start date.No more error messages.&nbsp;Please note in our case the break in service was less than 3 months.&nbsp;Hope this helps with your issue.

Hi ANoakes, &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;
Thanks for your post, and welcome here to the Community Forum. Thank you for bringing your concern to us, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;
The ATO error code CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000282 relates to a terminated employee. To fix the error, kindly go to the STP reporting center &gt; Employee terminations tab and make sure that the terminated employees have a termination reason, and the termination date is after the start date. &nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp;
To update those details, you will need to remove the termination by clicking on Undo, you can then re-do the termination.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Hello LenethI may not have been clear in my original post so will ask it another way.&nbsp;The termination date in STP is correct. He worked from 15 to 31 May 2023.Then he returned from 24 July 2023, so his card was reactivated and the new start date shows 24 July 2023.All pays processed since then have triggered the same error.This explains why we are triggering the error with STP. as his new start date is after his old termination date and This has has continued with each pay since.&nbsp;So my question is&nbsp;When an employee is terminated and then re-employed should a new employee card be created?Is there any reason to or not to do this?&nbsp;RegardsElizabeth&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi All,&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;
Thank you for letting us know about this. We appreciate your efforts in clarifying the issue about the error message you are getting, and this is helpful to check further on our end.&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;
Regarding your inquiry, we suggest using the old card file to avoid getting the error message. You would need to reinstate an ex-employee by reusing their employee card. All you need to do is to remove the Termination Date from their card and ensure their payroll details are up to date.
&nbsp;
If you're reinstating an employee in the same payroll year they were terminated, you'll need to undo their finalization for Single Touch Payroll reporting. Our article Reinstating an employee has instructions on how to do this within AccountRight.&nbsp;
