Deduction from pay for notice period not worked


I need to deduct a week's pay from the termination pay of an employee who failed to work out their notice period on resignation (allowed under the Award). I'm seeking advice on the correct set-up of a payroll item for this, including type, tax and STP related fields.
Thank you!

I would create a Deduction Payroll Item for it so it’s more easily identifiable ☺️

does the termination pay consist of holidays? You can enter a negative line I think of the one week in the same way you enter it when you pay it.

Thanks Kris. So is it a Wages payroll item type in Reckon (entered with negative quantity) with tax tracking type Gross Payments for STP?

I would just use the same weekly pay item that you normally use
