Leave Loading can only be attached to Annual Leave on an employee record. If you use User Defined Leave to accrue additional Annual Leave hours and want to pay Leave Loading on these hours, create an Addition Before Tax to calculate a percentage of User Defined Leave hours. Attach the Addition to the Employee's to automate the process.
If you need to create a User Defined Leave class, see User Defined Leave.
Create the Addition Before Tax:
Go to Payroll, Maintenance, General, Additions and Deductions.
Click Add.
Enter a Code, Shortcut Key and Description.
Select Addition Before Tax as the Category and Percent as the Type.
Enter the Percent.
In Hours Type select User Defined Leave Hours. Leave everything else unticked.
User Defined Leave will now be available. Select the leave class you wish to calculate the leave loading on.
Make any other required selections.
On the STP Reporting tab, enter the STP Phase 2 fields.
Click OK to save.
For more information on STP2 Reporting Groups, see ATO's STP Phase 2 reporting - Quick Reference Guide.
Attach the Addition to the Employee:
Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Employees, Employees.
Edit the Employee.
Select Additions & Deductions.
Click Add.
Select the Addition created in the steps above.
To use the percentage included on the Addition, tick Use Default.
Click OK to save the Addition.
And click OK to save the Employee record.
When the User Defined Leave class is included in a transaction the Leave Loading will automatically be calculated using this Addition.
You will need to review Employer Super Contributions and General Ledger Batches if you need to include the new Addition in the setup.
