Help in setting up for Bereavement leave

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)

Hi Marie_Cel

Just to let you know, it's not 2 days per year, it's two days per occasion

Hi

no need to set up accrual for bereavement leave

it is a separate leave on a as needs basis

Hi,
If you set up the ATO reporting category as Other Paid Leave, do you need to set up an Entitlement accrual counterpart account like you do for annual or personal leave accrual?

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

Thank you, Lisa.  I will try and do that.

Thanks for letting me know.
