When you no longer need to make further employee payments during the current pay period, you can mark the employee record as final within the relevant pay event. Making this declaration will update the employee’s MyGov account to show the STP information from the employer is final for the current pay period. Before you can mark your data as final, you will need to create a pay event. To read details on how to create a pay event, refer to this guide.
