Cease a PAYG (Pay As You Go) Employee and reinstate as a Foreign Employee

!If pay runs have already been processed for this employee, you will need to seek advice from your Accountant or Bookkeeper regarding their tax liability and discuss it with your employee, as it may mean they require additional tax to be deducted to ensure a tax bill is not received, or they may be entitled to a ‘refund’. There is no way to ‘fix’ the previously posted pay runs. However, you can change the employee to be correctly set moving forward.

1. Manually cease (terminate) the required Employee.
2. Reinstate the required Employee.
3. Change the Employees Payee Type to Foreign Employee

If the Employees YTD Taxation Balances also need to be migrated (ONLY completed if directed by your Accountant or Bookkeeper).

1. Print the Employee Masterfile Report for the ceased Employee Profile, so that you may enter these at Step 3 (below)
2. Access the OLD Employee Profile and manually remove the YTD Taxation Balances
3. Access the NEW Employee Profile and manually enter the YTD Taxation Balances.
4. Send an Update Event to the ATO for the OLD and NEW Employee records.
