Setting up and automating paid and unpaid parental leave

You can easily set up and automate paid or unpaid parental leave on your pay runs.

 

First step is to set up the parental leave. To do so, please follow the steps below:

 

1. From the Employees page, click on Payroll Settings.

2. Under Pay Run Settings, select Pay Categories.

3. Click on Add to create a new pay category.

4. Set a Pay Category Name (example: Parental Leave).

5. Change the Unit field to Fixed because this is paid on a weekly (not hourly) basis.

6. There is no requirement to pay superannuation on paid parental leave, but if you wish to do so, you can leave the Super Rate at 9.5%.

7. Parental leave is payroll tax exempt, so be sure to tick the Payroll Tax Exempt box.

8. Leave does not accrue for this payment. Hence, you should leave the Accrues Leave box unticked.

9. Click Save.
