Hi TomD
Clearly, you're having trouble with a premature termination report to the ATO and an error message. This might be due to the termination date being earlier than the start date or an incorrect termination reason. Here's a quick guide to fixing this:
- Go to the STP reporting center (Payroll command center > Payroll Reporting > Payroll Reporting Center) and sign in if needed.
- If you've finalized the terminated employee, undo it: Click the EOFY finalization tab > choose Payroll year > select employee > click Remove finalization and notify the ATO > enter your details > click Send.
- Undo the employee's termination: Click the Employee Terminations tab, choose Payroll Year, click Undo, enter your details, and click Send.
- Redo the termination: Click Add termination > enter details (including termination reason) > click Notify the ATO > enter your details > click Send.
- If you removed the employee's finalization at step 3, re-finalize them: Click the EOFY finalization tab > choose payroll year > select employee > click finalize and notify the ATO > enter your details > click send.
Make sure the termination date is after the start date and the termination reason is correct. You can also check out this helpful article on how to fix rejected reports in STP to learn more. Let me know if you have other queries!
