This chapter contains the following topics:
When employees are terminated from an Australian organization, they might receive a payment related to their termination. Depending on the circumstances of the termination, that employee might be eligible to receive an Employee Termination Payment (ETP). To determine whether an employee is eligible for an ETP and to determine the amount of that payment, several pieces of information and several complex calculations are required.
You can enter ETPs using either of these programs:
Employee Termination Entry (P75A0008)
Employee Termination Payments (P75A0010)
When you enter a termination payment using the P75A0008 program, the system automatically calculates all of the amounts that are associated with the payment. When you enter a termination payment using the P75A0010, you manually calculate and enter all of the amounts for the ETP.
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) mandates tax calculations that are used to create ETPs. These tax calculations can differ depending on these factors:
The reason for the termination.
The employee's length of service to the organization.
The payment method that is used for the ETP.
The types of earnings and payments that are included in the ETP.
The Australian Employee Termination Entry program simplifies the termination process by:
Automatically retrieving employee leave balances, including annual, sick, long service, and Rostered Day Off (RDO) leave, and if necessary, including those amounts in the ETP calculation.
Enabling you to enter Golden Handshake amounts when you create termination scenarios.
Automatically calculating the number of pre-1983 and post-1983 service days.
Automatically calculating the Post 94 Invalidity amount that is associated with the ETP.
Enabling you to enter payee details in the event of the employee's death.
Automatically calculating all tax amounts by using employee history information, tax setup information, and the information that you enter during the termination process.
Enabling you to override many of the values that are associated with the payment.
Enabling you to enter the amount of the payment that the employee wants in cash and the amount that the employee wants to roll into an approved fund.
(Release 9.1 Update) Automatically retrieve foreign leave balances, including annual, sick, long service, and RDO leave, and if necessary, including those amounts in the ETP calculation.
|
Note: These amounts are included only if users enter PDBA and tax information for foreign employment, and use those PDBAs to create foreign employment payroll history for employees. See Chapter 6, "(AUS) Setting Up Foreign Employment Information (Release 9.1 Update)" for additional information about creating payroll history for foreign employment. |
Along with entering actual termination information, you can also use the Australian Employee Termination Entry program to create model termination scenarios. You can enter model termination information for a given employee, calculate the amounts that are associated with the model termination, and create a worksheet for each scenario. You can then allow employees to review the information on these worksheets.
The ATO mandates that some termination payments be made in the form of Eligible Termination Payments (ETP). For a termination to require an ETP, you must be able to answer yes to either of these questions:
Is the termination a Bona Fide Redundancy, as defined by the ATO?
Are any of the types of pay that are included in the employee's termination payment considered ETP-eligible, as defined by the ATO?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes, you must complete the ETP process for the employee termination. The ETP process includes these steps:
Entering ETP information.
Creating ETP worksheets for employee review.
Soliciting payment instructions from the employee, if necessary.
Creating ETP timecards.
Creating ETPs during the payroll cycle.
Creating ETP payment summaries and submitting them to the ATO.
Completing Reasonable Benefit Limit (RBL) forms for all ETPs over a specified amount, and submitting them to the ATO.
Storing appropriate records regarding ETPs to comply with ATO regulations.
If the termination does not require an ETP, but you are still distributing a termination payment to the employee, you can use the same process to produce regular termination payments. However, with regard to record keeping and reporting, regular termination payments are not regulated by the ATO.
All terminations that are considered Bona Fide Redundancies, also called as Genuine Redundancies, require ETPs. The ATO considers a termination to be a Bona Fide Redundancy if one of these criteria is met:
The employee will no longer be employed by the organization in any capacity.
The holding of an office is terminated.
If the termination does not meet either of these criteria, the termination is not considered a Bona Fide Redundancy and might not require an ETP. However, if the types of pay that are included in the termination payment are ETP-eligible, you must complete the ETP process.
If you are uncertain about whether the termination is considered a Bona Fide Redundancy, contact the local ATO office for additional information.
If you have determined that the termination is a Bona Fide Redundancy, then you must complete the ETP process. However, if the termination is not considered a Bona Fide Redundancy, you might also need to complete the ETP process, depending on the type of pay that is included in the termination payment.
The ATO considers only certain types of pay eligible for ETP. If any portion of the employee's pay is considered eligible for ETP, regardless of whether the termination is a Bona Fide Redundancy, you must complete the ETP termination process. Types of pay that are typically considered eligible for ETP include, but are not limited to:
Unused RDO leave time.
Payments that are given to the employee in lieu of notice of termination.
Redundancy or bona fide payments.
Unused sick leave time.
Compensation for wrongful dismissal.
Golden Handshake.
Employee termination payments might also include pay for items that are not considered eligible for ETP. If all of the payments that are included in the employee's termination payment fall under this category, you need not complete the ETP process. Types of pay that typically are not considered eligible for ETP include, but are not limited to:
Unused annual leave time.
Unused leave loading amounts.
Unused long service leave time.
Salary or wages that are owed to the employee for work already completed.
|
Note: The types of pay that are listed in the previous example are for illustrative purposes only and should not be used as a definitive list of eligible and ineligible ETP items. Contact the ATO for the most current information regarding ETPs to ensure that you calculate termination payments correctly. |
The logic that determines tax withholding depends on the category of ETP as defined by the ATO.
Withholding calculations for some types of life benefit ETPs are subject only to the ETP cap. These payments are called Excluded because they are excluded from the Whole of Income cap. These Excluded payments are printed on the payment summary with ETP print code of R.
The Non-Excluded types of ETPs require calculation of both the ETP cap and the Whole of Income cap. For these types, the smaller of the two results is used in the final withholding calculation. These Non-Excluded payments are printed on the payment summary with ETP print code of O.
Depending on the amount of the ETP, you might need to solicit payment instructions from the employee whom you are terminating. Payment instructions are used to notify the organization about how the employee wants to receive payment.
If the payment is less than the amount that is specified by the ATO, the organization is not required to solicit payment instructions from the employee. However, the organization can solicit this information and provide employees with an opportunity to decide how they want to receive their payment.
If the payment is over the amount that is specified by the ATO, you must solicit payment instructions from the employee, and you must also provide the employee with an explanation of the components of the ETP calculation. You can use the ETP Calculation Worksheet program (R75A0100) to create an ETP worksheet that the employee can use to review the details of the ETP.
When the employee gives you payment instructions, you might need to update the termination information that you initially entered into the system. Each time that you change an employee's termination information, you can create an updated ETP worksheet for the employee to review.
When you distribute ETPs to employees, you are required to submit information regarding those payments to the ATO. In addition, the ATO also requires that you store detailed records of termination payments.
If you distribute ETPs to employees, you must submit ETP payment summaries to the ATO along with the annual Pay As You Go (PAYG) tax filing information. If the cash portion of an ETP exceeds a certain amount, as specified by the ATO, you must also submit a Reasonable Benefit Limits (RBL) form. RBL forms should be filed monthly with the ATO.
In addition to submitting information to the ATO, the organization is also required to keep detailed records regarding termination payments.
|
Important: All of the information regarding ATO regulations for ETP filing and record keeping is believed to be current at the time of publication. However, due to periodic changes in tax regulations, you should contact the ATO for the most current regulatory information for ETP processing. Noncompliance with current tax regulations can result in fines to the organization. |
This section provides an overview of termination payment creation, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
Enter termination payment information.
Set processing options for Australian Employee Termination Entry (P75A0008).
Set processing options for Australian Employee Payments program (P750010).
When employees are terminated from an Australian organization, they might receive a termination payment. Depending upon the circumstances of the termination, certain employees might be eligible to receive ETPs. You can create ETP and termination payments using either of these programs:
Employee Termination Entry (P75A0008)
Employee Termination Payments (P75A0010)
When you enter a termination payment using the P75A0008 program, the system automatically calculates all of the amounts that are associated with the payment. When you enter a termination payment using the P75A0010 program, you manually calculate and enter all of the amounts for the ETP.
Using the P75A0008 program, you can process payments for redundancies, early retirement schemes, death, and invalidity scenarios. You can also create ETP worksheets for employees to review, and you can automatically generate timecards that the system uses to create actual termination payments. Alternatively, you can automatically create an interim payment for the termination. You must set the processing options of the P75A0008 program to specify that you want to create interims and you must specify a payroll ID for the interim header record. You can also use a selection from the Form menu during the termination entry process to review the selected employee's leave balances, such as their sick, vacation, and holiday leave.
When you enter termination information, you specify these items, which are used to determine the amount of the payment:
The reason for the termination.
Whether you will pay the employee for sick leave that has not been taken.
Whether you will pay the employee for long service leave that has not been taken.
The amount of any Golden Handshake payments that will be offered to the employee.
The amount of any payments that will be made in lieu of notice.
The amount of any Bona Fide payments that will be made for years of service to the organization.
Payee information, in the event of an employee's death.
After you enter all relevant termination information on the Employee Termination Pay form, you can use features of the Australian Employee Termination Entry program to automate these termination procedures:
Calculate the leave entitlements, tax amounts, and total payable amount.
Print a review worksheet, which includes all termination payment details, for the employee.
Create timecards that are used to create actual termination payments.
The Australian Employee Termination Entry program also enables you to create model termination scenarios. Because the tax calculations that are mandated by the ATO differ by termination reason, payment method, length of service, and types of payments that are included in the termination, model termination scenarios can help illustrate the differences in payment amounts for each scenario.
After you enter termination information into the system, whether it is factual or model information, you can create an ETP worksheet, which the employee can review. The employee can use this information to determine the termination related payments to be made to them.
You can create multiple termination scenarios for an employee; however, each termination scenario must have a unique termination date.
For example, you can create a termination scenario for an employee who uses the termination date of May and a termination reason of redundancy. You can create another scenario for the same employee using the same termination date, but the termination reason must be different. Similarly, you can create multiple scenarios using the same termination reason, but with different termination dates.
If you want to review termination payment information for multiple scenarios, all of which use the same termination date and termination reason, you must enter the information for a scenario, print the ETP worksheet for that scenario, and then change the information to reflect a different scenario. You can print the ETP worksheet each time that you change the termination scenario, and then compare the ETP worksheets to determine the differences between the scenarios.
To create a termination payment, you must first enter termination payment information. You can use either of these programs to enter termination payments:
Employee Termination Entry (P75A0008)
Employee Termination Payments (P75A0010)
|
Note: Oracle recommends using the P75A0008 program to enter termination payments, this program automates the complex calculations that are required to accurately create a termination payment. Oracle recommends using the P75A0010 program to update existing termination payments that were originally entered using the P75A0008 program, or to manually enter termination payments that do not require complicated calculations. |
When you enter a termination payment, the system uses the information from the processing options, the termination payment information, tax information that you have set up in the system, and the employee's payment history to calculate leave entitlements, tax amounts, and the final amount of the payment.
The processing option settings for the Australian Employee Termination Entry program (P75A0008) are critical to ensure that employee termination pay is calculated according to ATO regulations. Specifically, you must carefully set up these processing options to ensure that the system correctly calculates termination pay.
|
Note (Release 9.1 Update): Several processing options were added to the P75A0008 after the general availability of Release 9.1 to accommodate the automatic calculation of foreign employment payroll history when creating termination payments. These options are available only to users who have installed the update, and are used only when payroll history for foreign employment exists.For more information about the foreign employment software update, see Chapter 6, "(AUS) Setting Up Foreign Employment Information (Release 9.1 Update)" |
Additional versions will be required for P75A0008 to cater to the different parts of the organization, for example, those that receive Leave Loading as part of the termination and those that don't.

This section provides an overview of termination revisions and discusses how to revise termination payment information.
After you enter termination payment information and allow employees to review the ETP Calculations Worksheet associated with their termination, you might need to revise the termination information.
For example, after reviewing the details of the termination, an employee might decide to take only a portion of the payment in cash and roll the remaining amount of the payment into an approved fund. If the payment instructions that the employee selects differ from those that were entered with the initial termination payment information, you must revise that information before you create the actual payment, because changes to payment instructions can affect the tax calculations for the payment.
You can revise termination payment information as many times as necessary to ensure that the payment is correct.
| Form Name | FormID | Navigation | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee Termination Pay | W75A0008A | Australia/New Zealand Inquiries (G07BUSP16), Employee Termination Entry | Revise termination payment information. |
Access the Employee Termination Pay form.
Make any necessary revisions to the termination information, and then select Calculate Tax from the Form menu. Continue this process until the payment is revised correctly, and then click OK to save the record.
This section provides an overview of timecard creation and discusses how to create timecards for termination payments.
After you have finalized the details of an employee's termination, you can create timecards that the system uses to generate the actual payment. You can use the Australian Employee Termination Entry program to automatically generate timecards for the termination payment. You do so to ensure that:
The timecards use the correct pay types.
The system accurately calculates taxes on termination payments such as lump sum amounts.
After you generate these timecards, you can review and revise them until they include all of the information that is necessary to create the payment.
|
Note: Oracle strongly recommends that you generate timecards for termination payments using the Australian Employee Termination Entry program. Using this program ensures that all of the elements of a termination payment are correctly taxed. Manually entering timecards for termination payments can result in inaccurate tax calculations. |
After you create the timecards for the termination payment, you can process them through a payroll cycle to create the actual payment for the employee.
Access the Employee Termination Pay form.
Select Create Timecard from the Form menu. The system generates the timecards and returns to the Work With Terminations form. You might accidentally or deliberately delete termination records. If these are deleted, unpaid timecards will also be deleted.
