Hi,Could someone please let me know how to set up bereavement leave for our employee. Employee is entitled 2 days bereavement leave per year.
Thanks so much in advance.
Hi Lisa,
I checked the ATO website, and for STP Phase 2, Compassionate/Bereavement Leave should be setup for ATO Reporting (Phase 2) as Other Paid Leave. (originally it was Gross Payments in ATO Reporting Category 1st phase)
Thanks for letting me know.
Hi Marie_Cel
Just to let you know, it's not 2 days per year, it's two days per occasion

Thank you, Lisa. I will try and do that.
Hi,
this from Fair work
Employees don't accumulate compassionate leave and it's not a part of their sick and carer's leave entitlement. Employees can take compassionate leave any time they need it.
If an employee is already on another type of leave (for example, annual leave) and needs to take compassionate leave, they can use compassionate leave instead of the other leave.
So I would just set up a wage category for bereavment leave ( ato gross paymwnts) and pay the days taken that way
Hope that helps
Lisa
