    Hi Heathrau 

     

    Thanks for your post. You can set up the parental leave in the employee card>>standard pay as per the instructions at Step 5 Pay the employee during their leave of that help article you linked. Then when processing the payrun in Payroll>>Process Payroll the amount will be prefilled.

     

    If you need to pay a lump sum you would manually type the amount against the Paid Parental Leave payroll category when processing the payrun. When it comes to withholding PAYG you'll need to check with the ATO about how much to withhold, especially for the lump sum as that may require a manually calculation.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
