Taking a customer 'OFF' employment income reporting + Read more ...

Take customers 'OFF' employment income reporting when they:

  • Have ceased work and do not have mutual obligation/participation requirements, and
  • Can provide paid leave/termination payment details. Override the Service Profiler to change the customer to a notification reporter
    Note: this also applies if the customer advises of NIL paid leave/termination payment
  • Cannot provide paid leave/termination payment details. The Service Profiler will determine the reporting regime. Manually override the Service Profiler if the customer asks to be removed from reporting
    Note: ensure the customer's partner, if they have no mutual obligation/participation requirements, has also been removed from reporting
  • Override the Service Profiler to change the customer to a notification reporter if:
    • they do not have mutual obligation/participation requirements
    • usually have variable employment income, and
    • they advise their income is now stable

Always advise the customer of new reporting requirements and notification obligations.

Notification reporters must:

  • report changes to their circumstances, including changes to income, within 14 days
  • contact in person or Smart Centre to update their income details for their income support payment

Try to update the income estimate for Family Assistance payments such as Family Tax Benefit and Child Care Subsidy. Tell the customer the family income estimate is:

  • separate from the income support payment, and
  • can be updated online

To take a customer off reporting, use the Reporting Summary in Customer First or follow the below process:

Code the RPRD screen:

  • Report Type: leave as EAN - Employment Income Report
  • Stimulus Code: STM (Stimulus) - Stimulus required on due day
  • Frequency: If employment income reporting is no longer required:
  • Use 'OFF' to end the reporting requirement in Customer First or
  • Select 'End this type' in Customer Record
  • Note: only record a Frequency of 'OFF' for a Report Type of 'EAN'
  • Reason For Requirement: update with the code that matches the customer's circumstances
    • In Customer First, select the ? in the top right of the screen to access Screen Help. This shows valid values for this field
    • In the Customer Record, select [F1] to access Screen Help. This shows valid values for the field, including:
    • BVP - Bereavement Period
    • DIS - Discretionary
    • ECR - Employment Change - Regular Inc (not available in Customer First)
    • HOL - Customer on Holiday
    • NLW - No Longer Working
    • TFC - Temporary Family Commitments

    • TPR - Third Party Reporting
  • Manual Reason Expiry: the date the manual Reason for Requirement is to expire. Leave blank and it will automatically use default date or can overstrike with a new date. This needs to be done twice for the system to accept the new date

If using the default date, tell the customer to contact if their circumstances change before the default date. For example, if using code 'HOL' the default is 98 days. If the customer returns before this date and re-commences employment:

  • advise them to contact, and
  • update reporting regime

7

Accessing Report Type occurrences + Read more ...

Select Report Types using the RPRS screen. These will show on the RPRD screen.

When selecting current or future Report Types, the Report Type characteristics will show on the RPRD screen . Update these if applicable. This allows future dated Report Types to be updated and applied immediately.

When selecting historical or deleted occurrences, the RPRD screen is protected. This is to prevent changes to historical report characteristics when:

  • the report occurrence has a Frequency of 'OFF', or
  • is superseded/logically deleted by a later Report Type

A Report Type occurrence with a Frequency of 'OFF' and a future Manual Reason Expiry date can be updated. This allows

  • manually recorded 'OFF' reason overrides to be shortened or ended, and
  • auto profiling to reapply to the record

Note: this functionality is only available in Customer Record.

Additional information - updating Report Type characteristics

Table 6

Item

Description

1

Updating Report Type characteristics + Read more ...

Manually update the characteristics of Report Types S19 and EAN on the RPRD screen.

All other Report Types have all fields protected. Updates to their characteristics must be made on their Report Type source screen. These updates then show on the RPRD screen.

Record changes to current or future Report Types using either an 'I'nsert or a 'C'orrect action. Reporting cluster processing either:

  • creates a new occurrence of a Report Type, or
  • deletes an existing occurrence, and
  • creates a new occurrence if the same Start Date is calculated for the new occurrence

Report Type occurrences cannot be manually deleted by users.

2

Start Date Calculation for Report Types + Read more ...

The Start Date of a Report Type for a New Claim generally defaults to the Date of Commencement of the payment being reported.

Reporting Requirements for existing customers align with the 14 day payment period of the payment. For example, a Report Type occurrence Start Date will be the customer's Entitlement Period End Date (EPED) plus 1 day.

Automatic application of Report Type occurrences will apply a 7 day rule to decide if the Start Date will be the last EPED or the next EPED plus 1 day.

Manual updates of new or existing Report Types will always calculate a Report Type occurrence Start Date equal to the last EPED that has been paid plus 1 day. For example, the start of the current payment period for the customer. Manual updates cannot be applied with a future Start Date.

3

Recording a manual Reason Expiry Date + Read more ...

Recording a manual Reason for Requirement automatically sets a default Manual Reason Expiry date if one is not entered.

Note: some manual Reasons have shorter maximum Expiry periods while others do not require an Expiry date.

4

Changing an Entitlement Period End Date (EPED) + Read more ...

Update the EPED for a customer on the Entitlement Delivery (RAD) screen. Changing an EPED also changes the customer's Due to Report date.

Calculate the EPED from the Start Date of a Report Type. A new occurrence for a current Report Type will be created. A new Due to Report date and Reporting Statement will be sent to the customer.

Change the Manual Reason Expiry date to equal the new EPED date if:

  • an EPED is changed while a manual Reason for Requirement is in place and
  • a Manual Reason Expiry date also exists

5

Coding an assisted reporting customer + Read more ...

For assisted reporting customers, manually update the Assisted Reporter: field on the RPRD screen with a 'Y'. A Display on Access DOC is created to alert that the customer is an assisted reporter.

If the customer has not reported by their due to lodge date, contact them to discuss their obligations.

If assistance is no longer required:

  • remove the indicator from the RPRD screen, and
  • expire the Display on Access DOC by typing today's date in the Expiry Date: field

Blank screens + Read more ...

What if the RPTI screen is blank or does not list the required form?

The RPTI screen displays a summary of current and outstanding forms, letters or statements that are part of a customer's Reporting Requirement.

If a customer requests a form that is not present on the RPTI screen, first check the Reporting Regime Details (RPRD) screen to confirm the customers reporting requirement.

Note: if the customer has returned the last report, there is a slight delay between the report being processed and the next Reporting Statement generating. During this delay the Reporting Statement may not appear on the RPTI screen.

If the customer does not currently have a reporting requirement they will need to be placed on reporting via the Reporting Regime Details (RPRD) screen table, before a Reporting Statement can be issued.
