PPL is not "income" that needs a tax code so is best received via Make Deposit.

You need a new account for it - I like to create it as a subaccount of Payroll Expenses - & post the funds in to/out of here, which should eventually clear to zero.

You also need to set up a new hourly, wage Payroll Item for this - it is taxable (PAYGW only) but does not attract Super or accrue any Leave. Leave the $ amount on the Payroll Item itself blank, & enter the specific $ amount in the employee's record. That way, you can use it for any employee on PPL.
