Australian working holiday makers

If an employee is taxed under the W - Working holiday maker tax rate code, then it required that he / she has a working holiday maker visa effective for any pays that are processed for that tax rate code, otherwise the pay will fail.

Conversely, if an employee has a working holiday maker visa but does not use a tax rate code of W - Working holiday maker, a warning will be written during process pay indicating that the employer should register with the ATO as an employer of working holiday makers and tax them accordingly.

When editing an employee visa record, a check is also carried out to ensure that the edit will not compromise the integrity of the database i.e. all closed pays that have been taxed at the W - Working holiday maker tax rate must have a visa with dates covering each payment date. If not, the edit will not be allowed to proceed.
