PAYROLL NEWS MARCH 2023

Welcome to JobBag PAYROLL NEWS for March 2023

PAID FAMILY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LEAVE

There are rules about how information about paid family and domestic violence leave must be reported on pay slips and what information must not be included. This is to reduce the risk to an employee’s safety when accessing paid family and domestic violence leave.

If an employee has taken a period of paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave (FDVL), employers should record this on their pay slip in a way that makes the pay slip look as close as possible to how it would have looked if the employee had not taken the leave

NEW EMPLOYEE TAX AND SUPER DETAILS

The paper version of the Tax Declaration Form will be phased out and removed from the ATO website by the end of the year.

New employees will need to complete the new employment form in myGov and provide a pdf copy of the form to their employer. See example of the form below.
