Thank you for posting here in the Community, sam147. 

 

You will have to create a new Pay Category for Paid Parental Leave, then apply the pay category to the employee.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu. 
  2. Click the employee's name on leave. 
  3. Select the Actions button and click Employee's Leave. 
  4. Choose and select Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP).
  5. The fields that have an asterisk are needed to filled-in and you can edit the rest. 
  6. Click Save. 

 

Here is an article for more information on how to set up the pay category and how it applies to your pay runs: https://support.yourpayroll.com.au/hc/en-au/articles/207729673-Parental-Leave

 

Also, I've added this article as your reference on how to manage your employees.

  1. Go to Lists, then Payroll Item List.
  2. Click the Payroll Item dropdown, then New.
  3. Choose Custom Setup, then Next.
  4. Select Wage, then Next.
  5. Choose Annual Salary or Hourly Wages, then Next.
  6. Select Sick or Vacation Pay, then Next.
  7. Enter a name for the item, such as Maternity or Paternity Leave. Then Next.
  8. Choose the expense account you want for the item, then Finish.

 

Once done, you can add it to your employee's paycheck. If you need to add more time off, you can refer to this article: Set up and track time off in payroll.

 

I'm just a post away if you need any further assistance setting up employee leave. Wishing you and your business continued success.
