Return the tick box for RESC exempt in self-genernated super Pay Items

aculanic

In the Instance where an employee is paid from an external Long Service Scheme (such as Coinvest/LeavePlus) the employer is still responsible for reporting & paying the Super Guarantee due on the Long Service Leave payment gross amount, beause it is considered to be OTE (Ordinary Time Earnings) by the ATO when the employee is actually taking the Leave as leave ( which is distignuished from taking it as a cash payment in lieu of time off). At the moment there is no tick box available to indicate that the SG payment is RESC exempt in this instance, when the need has arisen to generate a tailored Superannuation Pay Item for this. As a result: the SG payment on LSL is considered to be RESC in the Reckon program (as the gross amounts are not matching what the total SG is tallying at). I rang your call centre & it was suggestied to go in and paly around with the employees YTD super totals to trick the Reckon program to tally still within the 11.5% parameter. Thats shocking. Im not the only employer working within the building industy using the portable LSL scheme. So Im suspecting that most employers in this situation are actually not paying their employees SG correctly , as is a legal requirement on their LSL (which is taken as leave).
