ACC lump sum paid to staff member

Hi, ACC have just agreed to pay a staff member weekly compensation and have backdated the payments to the time of her accident, 3 pay cycles ago. We had already paid her those 3 times. The staff member is going to repay the company the 80% paid by ACC. Do we need to make an adjustment through MYOB to make her wages and tax only 20% for those 3 times? How do we do this? We paid itas sick leave but this also needs to be changed to ACC. How do we do this? Thank you for your help.

Hi there WendyG1,

You can record a receive money transaction for the reimbursement. Once the 80% has been returned, you can delete and then reprocess the pay run. However, it's best to speak to your accountant to determine the best option for recording this.

Best regards,

Hi Doreen
Thanks for your reply. One more query regarding this. We need to pay back the staff members sick leave by 80% now she is on ACC. We had paid her 17 days, so 80% is 13.6 days. How do we credit this back to her sick leave balance? Thanks.

  Hey WendyG1,
  
  You can create a leave balance adjustment so that the 13.6 days will be credited back to the employee's sick leave. All you need to do is to go to:
  
  Payroll.
  Employees.
  Leave tab, and then select the sick leave.
  You can use the Opening leave balance field to adjust.
  Detailed steps can be found using this link.

Her opening balance said 19 so will not let me add the 13.6 days as it gives an error message "Opening balance (days) can't be greater than Max days to accrue."

  Hi WendyG1,
  
  The error message indicates that the opening balance exceeds the maximum days allowed to accrue, which is likely due to the setup configuration. To look into this further and resolve it, it's best to reach out to our live chat support through our virtual assistant MOCA or submit a case via MyAccount.
