Processing a final pay

Question

I am trying to do a final pay using STP When I get to the step Record the Final Pay there is no ETP Benefit Type area to click. Have I missed a step? This is just to pay some unused annual leave for an employee who has been terminated. There are no other lump sum payments to be paid. Do I need to do this step or can I just process . I feel like I may have made a mistake. I did do her final regular pay first. Can I just undo that and add the unused annual leave hours into it.&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;MarDur&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you sure the unused leave is an ETP? If it was accrued after 1993 and isn’t connected to any lump sum payments it is reported as Gross payments.&nbsp;This link from ATO website gives info on paying unused leave -&nbsp;Gross payments &nbsp;CheersTracey

Hi&nbsp;MarDur&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry I was replying to&nbsp;Snaz5 ‘s question.&nbsp;&nbsp;Glad you got yours all sorted 😊&nbsp;CheersTracey

Yes, I did link them... I worked it out that the box doesn't appear until you enter a value against an ETP item.&nbsp; All sorted, thanks!

I also do not have the ETP Benefit Type box to tick when processing a pay?&nbsp; Very frustrating!

Hi&nbsp;Snaz5&nbsp;&nbsp;Did you link the employee to the ETP payroll categories?&nbsp;Create payroll categories for termination payments&nbsp;CheersTracey

No I didnt in the end, as it was just unused annual leave payment it is not STP so I didnt complete that step and just went to the next step of entering Termination Details on the employees card.
