I'm thinking of using a new employee number structure to what we've been using so far now that our staff numbers have grown.
Before I do that, will this have any impact on STP? Is it safe to change employee numbers?
Hey @SydneyFlow
I would strongly advise that you don't change employee numbers for any existing employees that you've reported for.
Doing so will certainly impact STP as you've asked and more specifically, it will create an additional entry in your ATO Portal and the employee's MyGov; one for any reported balances under the old employee number and another for the new employee number.
If you're looking to introduce a new employee number format, then I'd recommend doing so from the next new employee that comes onboard moving forward.
Thank you Rav, I'll take your advice and start from the next employee we hire
