Portable Long Service Leave Levy Report

A report that does not seem to be available at all is the Portable Long Service Leave Levy calculation.

In order to submit a quarterly report to the PLSL authority you need to be able to show:

  • The eligible/relevant hours
  • The eligible/relevant payments

 

At present you need to download the payroll activity report, and deduct the hours that do not attract the Portable LSL levy, in order to match the expense calculation.

This data is in MYOB as it is required in order for the PLSL levy expense amount to be calculated, so a report showing the hours that are used for this expense line should be able to be created.

 

thanks

Lisa

    Hi Lisa

    I have just asked this question in the MYOB Community Forum and they directed me to the Ideas Exchange.  I thought someone may have asked already.

    I am based in NSW and this is being introduced to the Community Service industry which I would think would at least double the amount of people needing this report.  They have provided really good information on the set up and calculation of the levy, but nothing about the reporting.

    cindyc1​ could I please ask what industry the penalty rates are being excluded, information for the Community Service still has them included. 

    Thank you.  Fingers crossed they create the report.

    Yes Lisa, I agree! It is very time consuming generating a Payroll Activity Report & then deducting the hours & dollars which are not applicable. A Portable LSL Levy Report would be wonderful!

     

    How are other employers dealing with the Portable LSL Authority's recent changes to Ordinary Hours & Pay? Some of our Payroll Categories have the Penalty Rates included in the payment. Now the definition of Ordinary Pay excludes the Penalty Rates. Any advice would be welcomed!

    Thanks CindyN​ 

    Very interesting.  What a nightmare for organisations that employ staff in both states.

    This is the latest information we have received for NSW. 

     

    The expense set up would be tricky to exclude penalty rates as we will be using the 1.7% of gross wages with exemption for OT, travel etc.

     

    Glad we are only based in one state :)

    Hi Interchange1,

    I am based in Victoria and am part of the Portable LSL Scheme as a Community Services employer. The recent Portable LSL Authority Email Newsletter - May 2025 detailed information on Quarterly Returns: Simplified Reporting (see below screenshot) I am hopeful of a solution to the reporting & change in the calculation (separating penalty rates) soon!
