If a Terminated employee returns to work a new TFN Declaration will need to be provided to the Employer. A new Employee record should be created so that the correct periods of service for the Employee are reported to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
You can duplicate the employee record to create the new one. This can be used when re-hiring a terminated employee, or when an employee moves from one Payroll Company to another. It will copy all employee's details.
Note: If the employee is returning within 3 months of being terminated, they may still retain their original start date from their original employment for the purpose of accruing the Long Service Leave Entitlement. The subsequent employment is deemed to be a continuation of the original service period, and if in the same tax year, it may be reasonable to reinstate the original record by un-terminating that employee.
To duplicate a new employee:
Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Employees, Employees.
Highlight the Employee you want to duplicate.
Right-click on the Employee and select Duplicate. This copies all information held in the Employee record.
Enter a new Code.
Click OK to save.
Edit the employee and review each screen, making any necessary changes.
Click OK.
