Cessation Reason Code must be provided lodging pays

Hi 

I have just moved to STP phase 2. The STP Report Status says :

 

Accepted with errors. The good news is this report has been accepted by the ATO. But, there are a few things you need to fix before your next pay run. These are listed below.

  • Cessation Reason Code must be provided
    (ATO error code: CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000239

What does it mean? How do I fix this? (for 1 employee)

 

Thank you

FIK

    Hi fik168 and J-H 

     

    Does this or any other employee have a termination date after 1 July 2020? If yes and if using Phase 2 a Cessation code must be provided.

     

    Read more here: Getting ready for STP Phase 2 (At the bottom: What if I've moved to STP Phase 2 without considering terminated and inactive employees?)

     

    Let me know how you get on with this.

        Hi Yanike_S

         

        I had removed the termination date both on the card and the STP Report but had not changed the start date back to the date before the termination.

         

        Hence this message meant that the (latest) start date was after the termination date and was not accepted.

         

        All fixed now!
