FP: Unused AL & LSL - ULT

Hi pennidee,

Good on you for double-checking that one. Yeah, since the start date's throwing the system off, the Final Pay feature won't play nice in this case. What you can do instead is use the Unscheduled pay run option and just manually pop in the unused leave amounts you've already calculated. The system won't be able to do that bit automatically, so you're on the right track doing the maths yourself.

Hi Sai

Thank you for replying, I have looked at the Unscheduled Pay run; however, I am unable to use the correct pay items eg. FP: Unused AL etc and in this case for everything to report correctly I need to use these Pay Items. It is quite a considerable pay out and should be coded accordingly, due to the tax being calculated differently, shouldn't it?

I have managed to process an Unscheduled pay run, I just needed to create new Pay Items, which I linked to the ATO Category "Unused Leave on termination", and everything is reporting correctly. Sometimes we over think things, don't we. 

Hey pennidee,

You’re spot on! Those FP items like FP: Unused AL are exactly what you need so everything codes and reports correctly. Because the employee’s start date sits outside the year that lets you use the Final Pay option, the workaround is to recreate the FP: Unused AL and any other final pay items and assign them to the employee. You’ll find the Final Pay items at the very bottom of Pay items window, under Wages and Salary tab, so you can copy the details from there and mirror them in your new items. You can also check this link for more info.
