3.1.5 Cessation

The business rules for cessation date are:

1. If the employer captures the date of cessation the cessation date must be reported.

2. If a subsequent payment is made to the terminated employee the cessation date must still be reported as the original cessation date reported.

3. If the employee is subsequently rehired using the same payroll ID the cessation date should be removed in any subsequent reports.

a. If the employee is subsequently rehired using the same payroll ID, before the cessation date is reported, the cessation date should not be reported.

b. If the employee is subsequently rehired under a different ABN /branch within the same group, the cessation date does not have to be reported.

Reporting on a Payee who has ceased during this Pay Period

If a payee ceases employment during the pay period, include the Termination Date on the Payee Details screen.  On the Lodgement Data screen, check that the YTD data is correct and select this Payee and then click Final Indicator. Exclude this employee from subsequent STP Reports by changing the setting on the Payee Details screen AFTER this STP Report has been lodged.

See Finalise during or at End of Year for more information.
