If they have been lodging the PAYG installments to the ATO like they should have been each quarter then when it comes tax time you will likely get a refund back from the ATO if they have been taking out more tax than they should have. I would keep hold of those payslips, and past ones, which should show the total tax taken out. I would also be logging into your ATO account and under 'View my income statements.' find the employer and checking the total tax side and be paying close attention to the final payslip you get for the financial year, and just a fyi, June 30 is a Friday this year. Businesses have two weeks to be paying the PAYG to the ATO, nothing you have to worry there abouts since they would be the ones screwing the ATO and not you. As to them taking out extra PAYG, being they are a past employer and paid you your final payment already, which should/would have been paid within 48 hours of them reporting it via STP. I certainly would be calling payroll if it isnt paid in this payment cycle. Some businesses/companies only do payroll on their normal payroll cycle and not outside.
