Managing an employees tax code declaration | HR Employee File

Overview

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.

    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.

  9. Click the Save button.

Author recommended

So you have now completed your tax code declaration form and you are now wondering, what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:

  • HR Employee File: Certifications This feature allows your employees to complete their assigned certifications, update the data if it expires, and view their uploaded documentation.
  • HR Employee File: Banking Details This feature allows you to add an employee bank account, specify the account number, and how much to pay into each of their accounts.
