Altering Long Service Leave

[DeanneDavies]

I have taken over a data file from another bookkeeper, and there is an amount of LSL accrued for an employee that is not entitled to it....

How do I alter/amend this with the single touch payroll etc

HI @DeanneDavies 

There’s a couple of different ways that a leave accrual can be adjusted within AccountRight, which are outlined in our help article Adjusting leave entitlements.

Once the adjustment has been done, the next time the employee is paid and reported through STP that will include the adjustment. If the employee was not going to receive another pay before the end of the payroll year, you can record a void pay and report that.

A void pay is a zero dollar pay, where all of the figures on the pay are set to zero. When you try and record the pay you’ll be prompted to void or cancel the pay. Click void and it will be recorded like a normal pay, including the ability to report it through STP to update the ATO’s records with the adjustment.
