Anytime a staff member has been terminated they can be added back to Single Touch Payroll Pay or Finalisation Event. 

Terminations before 31 March strategy 

  • Have a methodology or process for ensuring grossed up RFB is calculated where a termination pay is being prepared.  Amounts under $2000 do not need to be reported. 
  • Once the payrun and termination pay has been finalised, and before lodging with the ATO, go into the pay event screen by clicking on “Lodge Pay Run with the ATO” 
  • Find this tiny blue symbol which allows you to access the column set up: 

  • On the list of columns tick RFB so that it appears as a column.

  • Anytime an employee doesn't show in a finalisation event because they have been terminated, you can add them to the lodgement without having to reinstate them.
  • USe the 'actions' button - not far from the mysterious column symbol

  • Use the 'actions' button again:
  • Click on the 'Enter RFB amounts" and match the payment to the appropriate finalising staff member
  • Lodge as normal.

Strategy for terminations 31 March and 30 June

  • RFB in this period would be reported in the next financial year.
  • Apply the RFB after 1 July during a pay event or during finalisation the following year.
  • Make sure your RFB column is showing in the Pay or Finalisation Event page (see above)
  • Anytime an employee doesn’t show in a finalisation event because they have been terminated you can add them to the lodgment without having to reinstate them.
  • Go to Actions:

  • The only employees available on this list are employees who are terminated at the time of the event.
  • Then go back and click on enter RFB amounts and finish by doing the data entry.
