Employment Details


With STP Phase 2, the ATO wants to collect much more data about each Payee. Within STP Creator this data is stored and displayed on the Payee Details screen, under Employment Details.


This can be manually edited and updated from the Payee Details screen. However when creating a new Data Set file or updating a large number of Payees, this can take awhile. We have therefore added a 'bulk' update process, where you can manually specify which settings would be applied to ALL payees, and then manually edit those who need different settings.

Modify these (if necessary) to the settings that apply to most of your Payees. Once the Payees are updated with these settings, you can then individually edit those that require changes, for example if 1 or 2 of your employees have a student loan.


Country Code

Some Income Types require a Country Code - this is a 2 character country code as specified in ISO 3066. These can be found in various places on the internet, here for example.


Cessation Code if terminated

In Phase 2 all Payees terminated after 1 July 2022 will require a Cessation Code. If you have Payees who have been terminated in the current Payroll Year, enter a valid Cessation Code. This code will be applied to ALL Payees with a Termination Date


Update Employment Details in Data Set file

If you click this button the Employment Details for all Payees in the Data Set file will be updated based on your choices above.
