If you are wondering why there is too much PAYG tax being raised when the employee is claiming Tax Free Threshold, eg tax is raised on $200 (and there should NOT be any) there is an extra box to tick.
As you are setting up each employee, most will nominate and you will tick “Tax Free Threshold claimed”.
