Set a Termination for an Employee

Before You Start

An employee’s Termination Date is entered in the Employment tab of their user profile. Before the system will allow a Termination Date to be saved, you will need to ensure that all jobs assigned to the employee have a finish date that falls on or before the Termination Date that you’ve entered.

Set a Termination Date and Reason

To set a Termination Date:

1. Go to Users > Employees > select the employee > Employment.

2. Enter the Termination Date or select a date from the calendar.

3. Select a Termination Reason from the dropdown list. The list will include reasons that have been configured in the portal that are both Enabled and match the employee’s region.

4. Enter a Termination Note. This is a free text, optional field you can use to record termination details or other information related to the employee’s termination.

5. Click Save.

In Australian portals, the Termination Reason that you set is submitted as part of your STP Submission. The classification of the Termination Reason is supplied by the ATO to Services Australia (formerly Centrelink) to ensure that they pay terminated employees the correct amount from the outset.
