JobMaker Hiring Credit Cessation

If an employee nominated for JobMaker Hire Credit ceases employment within 12 months of being hired the employer must report a 'Payee Cessation Date'.   When you terminate an employee the termination date that is entered in your termination pay run will in turn be reported to the ATO to confirm employment has ended.   There is nothing additional that is required other than following the standard ICS Termination Process.
