Welcome to the Community @CinMine !
Yes, you need to create at least 2 new Payroll Items for it - because they have different entitlements attached - 1 for the Govt-paid portion (being on-paid) & 1 for your top-up amount.
Best practice is to also have a separate PPL Payroll Expense subaccount, so you can track these amounts separately from your standard Gross Wages.
You also need a new Income (or Other Income) account, to record your Govt-received PPL amounts.
- Your Govt-paid PPL Payroll Item should be configured for PAYG, but no Super or Leave entitlements*
- Your top-up Payroll Item - IF the employee is working - should be configured for PAYG, Super & Leave
- A top-up Payroll Item - if the employee is NOT working - should be configured for PAYG but again, no Super or Leave*
All 3 Payroll Items should be created as Paid Parental Leave here:
… & mapped to to the Leave - Paid Parental (P) PPL Tax Tracking Type here:
* Check your specific state or territory rules as in some cases, LSL may still be applicable.
