Last day of duty
The last day of duty is the last day an employee works in your school during term four this year.
Entering the last day of duty in the EOY screen ensures holiday pay is paid correctly, it does not remove the employee from the payroll.
If the employee's last day of duty is the same as the school's term four end date, then you do not need to enter a last day of duty in the EOY screen - this field can be left blank.
Principals will need to enter the last day of duty for payroll administrators, as they won’t be able to enter their own.
The last day of duty is calculated differently depending on the type of employee. This page details these differences.
You can enter the last day of duty in the EOY screen when End of Year is open.
Duties extending beyond fixed-term end date
Each fixed-term employee's job end date is listed in your school's End of Year report
If an employee's last day of duty extends beyond their fixed-term job end date, leave their last day of duty field blank, then extend their fixed-term end date in their employee screen in EdPay to match their last day of duty, before continuing the End of Year process for them.
If the fixed term end date doesn’t update immediately in EdPay, please wait for an email from your payroll advisor confirming that it has been actioned, before completing the employee's End of Year information.
