How to Create a Termination Reason

How to Create a Termination Reason

1.

Navigate to Payroll > Maintenance > Termination Reason.

The Termination Reason Maintenance screen opens.

2.

Click Add.

The Termination Reason Entry screen displays.

3.

In the Name field, key in a unique name for the termination reason. This is the name that will be available for selection at the Termination stage of the pay batch process and will appear on reports.

4.

If you do not want the termination reason to be available for use immediately, click Active to clear the tick. You can edit the termination reason record to make the reason active at a later stage.

Otherwise, skip this step.

5.

In the Description field, key in a description of the termination reason.

6.

In the STP Cessation Reason, select the employment cessation reason that is to be reported in Single Touch Payroll reports when a payee is terminated with this termination reason.

It is mandatory to select an option from the STP Cessation Reason field because it is used in Single Touch reporting to allow the ATO and Services Australia to identify the exact circumstances under which a payee’s employment ceased, as that may determine whether the payee is eligible to receive benefits such as income support.

7.

Click Save.

The Termination Reason screen closes and the new termination reason is saved.
