CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000282

Hello 

We had a casual staff member who worked during May 2023.

He was terminated with the ATO prior to Finalisation of the 2022-2023 payroll year.

 

He was re-employed around 20 July 2023.
As the break between employment was less than 3 months his existing card file was re-activated

His termination date was removed and we paid him last week.

That pay event was accepted with errors.

 

Same issue this week.

This week's error message is

  • Cessation date cannot be before the Commencement Date
    (ATO error code: CMN ATO PAYEVNTEMP 000282)

So this does not happen again next week how do i fix this?

 

Regards

 

Elizabeth

 

 

 

 

  • Hi ANoakes,  

       

    Thanks for your post, and welcome here to the Community Forum. Thank you for bringing your concern to us, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.  

       

    The ATO error code CMN.ATO.PAYEVNTEMP.000282 relates to a terminated employee. To fix the error, kindly go to the STP reporting center > Employee terminations tab and make sure that the terminated employees have a termination reason, and the termination date is after the start date.  

       

    To update those details, you will need to remove the termination by clicking on Undo, you can then re-do the termination. 

     

     

    Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.

      Hello Leneth

      I may not have been clear in my original post so will ask it another way.

       

      The termination date in STP is correct. He worked from 15 to 31 May 2023.

      Then he returned from 24 July 2023, so his card was reactivated and the new start date shows 24 July 2023.

      All pays processed since then have triggered the same error.

      This explains why we are triggering the error with STP. as his new start date is after his old termination date and This has has continued with each pay since.

       

      So my question is 

      When an employee is terminated and then re-employed should a new employee card be created?

      Is there any reason to or not to do this?

       

      Regards

      Elizabeth
