Hi Earl H_D,
I hit a roadblock - when processing the "Pay Unused Leave" section in the Final Pay. When the hours came up as negative, it wouldn't let me continue, it came up with a message "Total unused annual leave must be more than zero". I guess I move straight to Reporting the departure to the ATO and follow the steps from here on in. I won't be able to process the negative hours in MYOB, they will be removed in the final washup.
Kind Regards,
Fiona
Hey FionaH2,
If you haven't reported the departure to the ATO, you can try to process the unused leave pay again. Just the same process you did. Enter the leave hours as a negative value against the unused leave payroll category. This way, it will reduce the final pay's net amount to reflect the negative leave balance. You'll also need to speak to your accountant as it might impact the employee's PAYG and superannuation.
Best regards,
Doreen
