With the recent Construction closure in Victoria I have to stand down some employees, how do I do their payroll to make sure they are still accruing leave but not getting paid and to make sure STP is correct?
STP is only applicable for payments of wages so you don't need to lodge anything for that đ
Unfortunately, RA won't allow a Paycheque to be created with no monetary values. Therefore the workaround is to use a rate to multiple decimal places, just sufficient to create a minimal value. The PAYG then needs to be adjusted to the same amount to result in a $ 0 net Paycheque.
You could use an existing Hourly Payroll Item but I think it's preferable to create a separate "Stand-Down" one in order to be able to identify & report on these periods down the track.
Ensure you set the Item up as a Wage Payroll Item Type to track Hourly as Regular Pay. You can leave the Taxes both unticked & Select None for the Super Items in the Inclusions window.
The crucial configuration here is to ensure you tick the checkbox for Include in "Every hour worked" leave accruals:
This will then enable the leave hours to calculate according to the number of applicable hours you enter on the Paycheque đ
