    Hi plewis 

     

    Thanks for your post. As this is a set amount of leave you could use the running down method. I would suggest creating a new entitlement payroll category and calling it something like Additional Parental Leave. Whatever you choose to call the entitlement you just need it to be obvious on the employee's payslip that it is that negotiated 6 weeks leave.

     

    This help article, Running down method of leave, will help you set this up, you'll just need to change it a bit to suit your situation. Step 1: you'll need to create the entitlement and then de-activate the accrual. You can ignore steps 4 and 5 as it's a one off payment (for now).

     

    When you pay the leave you would process it like any other leave entitlement, just enter the hours against that leave category. 

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
