Edit or download an employee's tax declaration

Sometimes an employee's tax details need updating when their circumstances change. These changes can include needing to update their IRD number right through to changing the source of their income from secondary to primary income.

The Tax Code Declaration feature is where you update these details if they change, with the HR platform reflecting these changes throughout the entire platform. This means there is only one place you need to update tax code details if they change to make sure your employee records on the HR platform are always up to date.

  Select the payroll platform you are integrated with for the relevant instructions. If you do not have an integrated payroll product, click the HR Only tab.

      Important

      You can click the Upload button to import your existing signature pad. The recommended size for your upload is 300 x 100 pixels.

      When updating the Tax Code Declaration page, an employee can view their digital signature and the timestamp. When editing the section, the platform provides the employee with a digital signature pad.

      However, when an admin or owner is viewing the Tax Code Declaration page on an employee's file, they only can view the timestamp of when the employee signed. When editing the tax section, the platform does not provide the admin or owner with the digital signature pad.

    • Click the Save button.
