What's the go with employees taking unpaid leave due to COVID Disaster Payments & not being able to enter $0.00 in Reckon? Do I just make a note in the employee file about how much unpaid leave they've taken? Is this sufficient with STP as the employee then doesn't show for that week in submission? Very messy process for record keeping - would be so much easier if I could enter a $0.00 within Reckon & keep everthing in the same place......Thanks :)

    Well I guess you could do a payroll for .01 gross and .01 tax if you really wanted a record. I wouldn’t have thought there’d be any STP requirement to show that week if there was no pay

    Thanks Kris! If there's no need re STP, I'm happy with that. Maybe excel spreadsheet isn't a thing of the past ;)

    Excel certainly has its place for many things
