Enter TFN Numbers

Record a Tax File Number (TFN) in the Identification section of the Personal > Confidential Information screen of People. Do this by creating a record with TFN selected in the Identification Type column.

A TFN is a unique identifier issued by the Australian Taxation Office to tax-paying individuals and businesses.

During payroll processing, Dayforce generates a warning message to indicate when a TFN isn’t recorded. However, if this scenario occurs, you can still continue with the payroll commit, for example, to support the case where a new employee has not yet provided their TFN.

To record a TFN number in the employee's record:

1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Personal > Confidential Information.
2. In the Identification section, click Add.
3. In the Identification Type drop-down list, select TFN.
4. In the Issuing Country drop-down list, select Australia.
5. (Optional) Enter a place of issue.
6. In the Effective Date field, define the date at which the TFN number is usable in Dayforce.
7. In the Issue Date field, enter the date that the TFN was issued.
8. In the Identification Number field, enter an identification number and click save.
9. (Optional) To upload a scan of the TFN in the Supporting Documents column:
   1. Click Add.
   2. In the Upload Files dialog box that opens, click Browse for file(s) and select a file. You can also drag and drop files into the file window.
   3. Click Upload.
10. Click Save.
