Hi SC221252,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! One of the new STP Phase 2 requirements is to report on the employment basis of each individual. The employment basis is the equivalent of the 'employment type' field located in the employee's Tax File Declaration screen. Let me walk you through on how to select an employee's employment type.

 

  1. Go to Employees tab.
  2. Select an employee.
  3. Select Tax File Declaration and select Employment Type on the dropdown menu. 
  4. Select Save.

 

To change employment type, the following needs to be changed by clicking on the name of the employee then go to:


a. Primary Pay Category under Pay Run Defaults
b. Leave Allowance Template under Pay Run Defaults

 

For more detailed information, you can also check on this article: How to Change Employment Types.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be around to help. Have a great day!
