When an employee is entitled to Disability Exemption, and you have received confirmation from the authorities that the employer is exempt from paying SSC for that employee, you can tick the Disability Exemption check-box in the employee form to disable employer's SSC deductions.

We recommend confirming with the authorities that the employee is entitled to Disability Exemption, as otherwise the Electronic Lodgement might fail.

  1. Go to HR > Employees.

  2. Select the required employee and click Edit.

  3. Go to the Employment Details section and tick the checkbox for 'SSC disability exemption'.

  4. Click Save.

Noteworthy details:

  • The employee will still pay regular SSC, this change only affects the employer.

  • Employer SSC will be disabled for future payrolls.

  • To also affect SSC disability for finalized payrolls, unfinalize previous payrolls, and recalculated (this will affect the FS5 and needs to be regenerated and re-submitted).
