I have done a final pay event in 2018R2 and submitted to ATO. Do I now need to open under 2019R2 to

Hi Jennifer, 

As long as all employees paid during the year have been marked as Final with the ATO via either the Final Pay Event you've just processed or via a Termination pay during the year that was lodged via STP, you don't need to do anything in 2019R2.


If you have employees paid during the year that weren't marked as Final. For example, they were casuals that weren't included in the Final Pay Event or you started STP mid-year and the employee was terminated prior to this, then the easiest way to mark these employees as Final is to use the Finalise Year option in 2019R2.
