TERMINATION PAY
Hi Team,
I am going to do a termination pay soon using this STP2/Reckon Payroll software and I am not sure what is the best way to do it in this new system.
My understanding from searching on the Reckon Community Board suggests the termination pay should be done separately from the normal pay. Is this correct? The employee has entitlements to be paid out, so these should be done separately from the normal pay, so the tax is calculated correctly.
Thank you.

Hi @JEN ,
Thank you for reaching out. You are correct; you can create a final payment separately from the normal payments.
The process for terminating an employee has been explained in the attached video below.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to let me know.
Kind regards,
Reeta

Hi Reeta,
Thank you for your reply.
That video link you put won't open as there is a message when you hover over the link that says it's unsafe to open. I found another link on this community page that shows how to do a termination pay.
Regards,
Jen

Just ran a Final Pay Run for an employee that has been terminated. It went fine until the stage of submitting the Declaration to ATO when an error message is displayed:
Object reference not set to an instance of object
and it is stuck there no matter what we try to change - like the Phone Number which was referenced to in a previous post by another user.
Any idea of what may be wrong?

Hi,
I'm also getting the same error at the same part of the process of the final pay run for an employee that has been terminated. Have you had any luck in working out how to fix this issue?

Sorry for the delay in responding @Tanvi_kataria . I contacted Support through submitting a ticket. Here is the response:
" Please follow these steps:
- Go to Employee records, click on Pay.
- Make sure base rate is not 0 for all employees part of the pay run.
- Then delete and re-create the payrun."
It worked after trying a few times (did not count due to frustration) with the Base Rate, for some unknown reasons, going back to 0 again and again until It finally worked. Now, it is telling us that the Employee has not been terminated in spite of it being flagged as terminated in Employee Screen! However, after archiving the Employee and ignoring the message "Their employment hasn't been terminated, etc", this is now history!

Thank you @marcchan for your reply and the steps to get this to work. I too lost count of how many times it went back to 0 but eventually it worked. Very frustrating.
