Good morning
Pay in Lieu of Notice is not a Lump Sum A
recommend to create a new payitem In lieu of Notice - flag to etp tax&nbsp; component
create zero payrun moing from lump sum to new in lieu of notice
&nbsp;
you may need to check how you have taxed the lump sum A
&nbsp;
If you are struggling recommend to seek out a BAs/Tax&nbsp; agent to help
Kind regards Chris

Hi
Could you advise are both of the terminations not redundancy?
If not redundancy, then unused leave should be part of gross payments.
If redundancy, then unused leave is allocatedin Lump Sum A
&nbsp;
Recommend to check what ATO category is assigned to the unused leave payitem
&nbsp;
Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,&nbsp;the payroll Item's name is Unused Time in lieu/ RDO.&nbsp;i have set up as ETP- Taxable component.&nbsp;another 2 employees (c,d)have pays under same category as well, their unused time in lieu are included in ATO's report&nbsp;but for employee a &amp; b, Their total is not included in ATO YTD verification report.&nbsp;i have tried run $0.00 pay to push the information to ATO a couple of times, but it is not working.&nbsp;Would you be able to advise What else i need to check and do ?

Thanks Chris

Employee (A &amp; B) their ETP - Taxable ( unused TIL/ RDO) are showing in Payroll Acticity/ Payroll total report.&nbsp;But the amount were not included in ATO YTD report.&nbsp;My two MYOB Reports balance, lets say $5000&nbsp;Employee A - ETP - Unused TIL $500Employee B- ETP- Unuse TIL $1500&nbsp;My YTD ATO Verification total is just 3000and under ETP - Lump Sum A , i can tell is it short by 2000.00&nbsp;While i have employee C, D, they gets paid ETP-Unused TIL as well, their amount are included.* one thing to note, when i run the final pay for A &amp; B, I Might set up ETP in the wrong ATO category, later on, i corrected it before i process final pay for Employee C &amp;D.&nbsp;Thank you

Hi
Just need to clarify Lump Sum A, this is only used if an employee is paid a redundancy and there is unused leave with the redundancy.
&nbsp;
The ETP for RDO and time in lieu should not show in Lump Sum A but separate in the ETP section
&nbsp;
I hope this is helpful
Thanks Chris
