Information for Employers


What are Employment Separation Certificates? Employment Separation Certificates are needed by the Australian Government Department of Human Services to enable a person to claim income support payments. You should provide a certificate to an employee if requested. The information contained in the Employment Separation Certificate is used to ensure that correct payments are made to customers. This notice is given under either section 196 (if received from the Department of Human Services) or 199 (if received from a former employee) of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 and allows a former employee or the Department of Human Services to obtain this information. Thank you for taking the time to fill in this form.

All the information contained in, or attached to, this report may be subject to release under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) to any person(s) (including those named in either the report or its attachments). If you want any of this information treated in confidence, please attach a statement indicating which information, and give your reasons. This will then be considered if a request is made under the FOI Act. What exactly are Employment Separation Certificates used for? They are used to ensure that only eligible people get paid an income support payment and that they are paid the right amount from the correct date.

Some workplaces include regular overtime and allowance as part of their average weekly wage.
