Termination wages

Am having to do a termination pay (never done one before) which includes about 5 weeks holiday.  My accountant said to do the weeks' pay as normal then enter holidays as unused leave.  My question:

I calculate the last pay week which would then add in auto the hourly calculated leave due for that week. So,

when I enter the pay I select the check box terminate pay? Then I process another pay for the leave which should have an item unused pay?  This will then have the total calculated leave due including the last week.  But I was told not to calculate super on unused pay.  HOW DO I CHANGE selections to prevent that happening before I do the unused pay.  Also how do I ensure the auto calculated leave is cleared in at balance (in case of rounding etc.)

Lastly sick leave is not transferred if not used.  How do I zero this with the last pay?

 

Thanks in advance

Rob

    If the sick leave you mentioned isn’t payable, just pop in a termination date for that employee to clear it up. You can check out more details here.

    Hi robs1,

     

    First-time terminations can feel a bit like jumping in the deep end, right? You're doing great so far.

     

    You're spot on with processing the final week's pay and then adding the unused leave separately. Now, about that super on unused leave, totally fair question!

     

    If you don't want MYOB to calculate super on that unused leave, you'll need to make sure that wage pay item used for the unused leave is set to not calculate super. 

     

    Check out this guide: Superannuation.

    Much appreciated - and how do I zero the sick leave that's not taken?
