employee termination unused annual leave loading

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I use MYOB AccountRight. I have just had an part time employee leave to take on another job. She has 15.30 hours of unused annual leave. I am aware it is a requirement to add the annual leave loading of 17.5% onto the payment of the unused annual leave, however there is no "unused annual leave loading" category. Am I supposed to create one, or just adjust the amount (by adding the extra 17.5% calculated on the amount of unused annual leave pre-calculated by MYOB software)?What is the best way to move forward without confusing the ATO or making a mistake?&nbsp;Thank you very much for your feedback,&nbsp;Kind Regards,&nbsp;Jackie Bell

Hi&nbsp;JackieBell&nbsp;
&nbsp;
You can create an Unused Leave Loading payroll category to make sure it is reported correctly through STP.&nbsp; These support notes may be helpful -
Create payroll categories for termination payments&nbsp;
Assign ATO reporting categories&nbsp;
