You should have new employee details and a tax file number declaration submitted by the employee upon commencement with the employing business.
                    
Select the
 Occupation code  from the drop-down list of job roles.
                    
Complete the declaration. You can ask the employee to verify the information on the screen if convenient, or complete the details based on the signed new employee TFN form you have received.
                    
                    
                    Complete the

                    A summary screen of employee details will display. Check that all details are correct before including the employee in a new pay run.
                    
                    
                    
                    Other Employee Details 
                    Once the employee primary details have been completed and saved, other details can be added.
                    
                    
                    The employee details must be saved before a superannuation fund can be attached or a pay template can be set up.
