As part of your STP reporting requirements, when an employee finishes working for you, you need to let the ATO know:

the employee's end date, and
that you won't be paying the employee again this payroll year (known as 'finalising').

Before you begin

Process all final payments to the employee who's leaving. See Processing a final pay.

1. Notify the ATO of the termination

As part of your Single Touch Payroll reporting, you need to notify the ATO of the termination. This lets the ATO know the employee's termination date, reason, and any ETP components in their final pay.

Am I reporting via STP Phase 2?

You can check in the STP reporting centre (Payroll command centre > Payroll reporting > Payroll Reporting Centre). If you don't see this label, you're on STP Phase 1. How do I get ready for STP Phase 2?

To notify the ATO

I'm set up for STP Phase 1

Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Reporting.
Click Payroll Reporting Centre.
Click the Employment terminations tab.
Select the employee who's leaving, choose their last day of employment, then click Notify the ATO.
When prompted to send your payroll information to the ATO, enter your details and click Send.

This declaration is processed in the same way other STP reports, and it can take up to 72 hours to be accepted by the ATO. You can check the status of the report in the STP reporting centre.

I'm set up for STP Phase 2

Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Reporting.
Click Payroll Reporting Centre.
If prompted, sign in using your MYOB account details (email address and password).
Click the Employee terminations tab.
Choose the applicable Payroll year and click Add Termination.
Enter the termination details and click Notify the ATO.
When prompted to send your payroll information to the ATO, enter your details and click Send.

This declaration is processed in the same way other STP reports, and it can take up to 72 hours to be accepted by the ATO. You can check the status of the report in the STP reporting centre.

2. Finalise the employee

This step lets the ATO know that you won't be paying the employee again this payroll year. You can finalise the terminated employee now, or when you complete your STP finalisation at the end of the payroll year.

For all the details, see End of year finalisation with Single Touch Payroll reporting.

FAQs

How do I remove an ETP from the Payroll Reporting Centre?

If an ETP amount you paid an employee is wrong, you can reverse the pay in AccountRight and you’ll be prompted to submit the reversal to the ATO for STP reporting. This will automatically remove the incorrect payment.

If you need to undo an employee's termination, see Removing an employee termination.
