# Termination Payments

**Marlin HR** enables accurate processing of termination payments by ensuring all outstanding earnings and allowances are correctly recorded.

These should be entered in the **Pay Advice** window of the employee's termination pay run, and include all:

- All [Unpaid Earnings and Allowances](/hr/docs/termination-payments-1#unpaid-earnings-and-allowances)
- [Redundancy or Employee Termination Payments (ETP)](/hr/docs/termination-payments-1#redundancy-or-employee-termination-payments-etp)
- [Payments in Lieu of Notice](/hr/docs/termination-payments-1#payments-in-lieu-of-notice)

These payments must be entered correctly to ensure compliance with tax regulations.

          Tip

          

Double-check that all required [Allowance Types](/hr/docs/hr-allowances) are added before initializing a termination pay run. Click **Refresh** (top-right) to ensure you have the latest allowance types provided by Megabus.

## Unpaid Earnings and Allowances

Any earnings and allowances accumulated since a terminated employee's last normal pay should be entered into the following fields of the employee's **Pay Advice** details window:

- **Unpaid Earnings:** Earnings
- **Unpaid Allowances:** Before Tax Allowance

**To enter unpaid earnings and allowances:**

- Select the **This Pay** cell of the relevant field
- Click on the **Add** button below.
- Use the **Employee Earnings/Allowance** pop-up to enter the details

          Warning

          

**Do not add standard hours to make a Payment In Lieu of Notice.** These must be entered as [employee termination payments (ETP)](/hr/docs/clone-termination-pay-runs#employee-termination-payments-etp).

## Redundancy or Employee Termination Payments (ETP)

#### Payrun > Payrun Processing > Initialise > [Employee]

Any Redundancy or Employee Termination Payments (ETP) should be entered as an **Before Tax Allowance**.

Select the This Pay cell of the Before Tax Allowance field and click on the **Add** button below.

Use the **Employee Allowance** pop-up to enter the details.

## Payments in Lieu of Notice

If an employee is terminated without the required notice, you need to use the [Payment In Lieu of Notice](/hr/docs/in-lieu-of-notice) allowance type, rather then enter additional standard hours.

This ensures that the payment is correctly reported to the ATO and prevents the employee accruing additional leave on any incorrectly entered hours.

See the [Terminations in Lieu of Notice](/hr/docs/in-lieu-of-notice) help guide for further information.
