Update working holiday maker employee information for STP Phase 2

With STP Phase 2, working holiday maker employees must be classified as such and their visa country must be specified.

What do I need to do?

When reporting working holiday makers through STP Phase 2, the status and visa country of the working holiday maker will need to be reported:

1. Select Employees, then select the employee's name.
2. Select Tax File Declaration
3. Untick the Is approved working holiday maker box, then re-tick it. It will ask you to update the employee's working holiday maker status and to select the Visa country of the employee's visa.
   
4. Select Save.

I've updated my employee's status, what's next?

Below are the changes that most businesses will need to make in preparation for STP Phase 2:

• Update pay category classifications
• Update leave category classifications
• Update deduction category classifications
• Review employee tax file declaration information

If any of the following apply to your business, make these changes as well:

• If any employee is closely held, under foreign employment, an inbound assignee to Australia, labour hire or other, update their income type in the employee's settings
• If the business terminated an employee from 1st July 2021, provide a termination reason
• If you have employees working in another country, provide their country of work
