How do I cease a Payee while processing my Single Touch Payroll Pay Run?

To cease the Payee, select Cease Employment. 

Select the Cessation Reason, which determines what Termination Pay Types are available per the Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 requirements.

• Voluntary cessation – an employee resignation, retirement, domestic or pressing necessity or abandonment of employment.

• Ill health – an employee resignation due to medical condition that prevents the continuation of employment, such as for illness, ill health, medical unfitness or total permanent disability.

• Deceased – the death of an employee.

• Redundancy – an employer-initiated termination of employment due to a genuine bona-fide redundancy or approved early retirement scheme, or a non-genuine redundancy.

• Dismissal – an employer-initiated termination of employment due to dismissal, inability to perform the required work, misconduct or inefficiency.

• Contract cessation – the natural conclusion of a limited employment relationship due to contract/engagement duration or task completion, seasonal work completion, or to cease casuals that are no longer required.
