Termination Reasons are user-defined values that are selected when a Termination Type is applied to an employee. Because they are used-defined, you can create Termination Reasons that suit your organisation's requirements.
Termination Reasons are assigned to Termination Types. When an employee is terminated, the list of Termination Reasons that you can select from is based on the Termination Type.
Cessation Reasons are mapped to Termination Reasons, so the selected Termination Reason controls the Cessation Reason reported for the terminated employee to the ATO.
Termination Reasons can also be used to filter and/or group data in Access Definitiv reports.
Managing Termination Reasons
As Termination Reasons are user-defined, you can edit existing ones or add new ones. Unused Termination Reasons can also be deleted.
Remember to check and update Termination Type assignments after adding, editing or deleting Termination Reasons.
