Needing to process a payrun with govt paid parental leave with top up to full wage. Has anyone had this scenario or have information on how to process through reckon accounts correctly
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.
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.
