This is the last day an employee works at your school in term four. If the employee’s last day of duty and the school’s year end date are different, you need to enter the employee’s last day of duty into EdPay.
|
The employee will be paid up to this date, while working at your school, if they are not returning to the same job in the following year.

Last day of duty
Entering your employee’s last day of duty in the End of Year screen ensures the correct calculation and payment of holiday pay, but it does not remove the employee from the payroll.
If an employee is working on the school’s last day of term 4, then their last day of duty will be the same as the school’s term 4 end date. In the End of Year screen, you need to leave their last day of duty field blank.
However, there will be employees who won’t be working on your school’s last day of term, and their last day of duty may be different. This date will need to be entered manually in the last day of duty screen.
On our website we have a range of different examples for employees with different last days of duty. For fixed-term full-time teachers, permanent full-time teachers, term-time only auto-paid non-teachers, and part-time teachers. Eg. If a part-time employee usually works on Thursdays and Fridays only, and the school’s term 4 end date is on a Wednesday, what is their last day of duty? The last day of duty would be the Wednesday, the school’s term 4 end date. So in the End of Year screen the employee’s last day of duty field could be left blank as EdPay will default to it being the school’s term 4 end date.
