Paid Parental Leave

Hi Meena

MYOB Business payroll does not cope with Parental leave calculations correctly. I certainly would not be putting in a termination date - as this employee is still employed and correct - accuring leave albeit at no value. Any annual leave owing (not accrued) left owing when the employee goes on parental leave will be ring fenced, so keep a note of this amount. While the employee is on parental leave, process a pay using a created code called parental leave - with number of std hours, but no dollars. Then when employee returns to work, the leave calc will be correct at last 52 weeks including the time taken off. But be aware if std hours per week changes when they return, then you will need to make sure that this is taken into account. Manual calculations to check will likely be required.

Thanks very much jenniek - I didn't think adding a termination date was correct as there would be no way of Annual Leave accruing, so I will process by way of adding in a new pay code. Appreciate your help!
