If you have processed an unused leave payment incorrectly as a severance payment, please follow the below steps to rectify.
Note: In the following example I am reversing an ETP for ($3,500) for 100 hours of Long Service Leave.
Complete a backup labelled "before ETP correction".
Take a screenshot of the employees ETP screen. Employee, Payments, YTD Summaries, ETP, delete the figures in this screen, Edit and remove, OK, Close.
Create a new allowance: Setup, Allowances, Add, Next, Standard Allowance, Description ETP Reversal, Type Addition, Taxed, Frequency: Each Pay, Amount: = 0, STP Reporting Group: = Gross, Next, Next, Finish, Close.
Select PPE date of the original payment.
Go to File, Maintenance, Supplementary Pay Slip, Yes select employee, Clear timesheet screen, Next.
In the Adjustments-Allowances screen, Allowance, Add, select ETP reversal allowance, enter the amount as a negative figure (-$3,500), select No when asked if you want to adjust to a positive number.
Go to Leave, Add, select Wizard Mode, select Leave Type: Long Service Leave STP Reporting Group: Paid Leave, Reporting Subgroup: U Unused Leave on Termination, Next, From: to To: date should be the same date, use a date in the last PPE cycle that the employee was not paid on the final pay slip, Duration: 1 day, Next. on payment calculation screen, 1 day x 100 hours total hours and payment will populate and should match what was paid as severance.
Check the pay slip, you should have a negative allowance and positive leave for the same amount. Taxable Gross, Tax, Net, and Super should all be zero.
After the adjustment is saved, go to STP, STP Update and check your figures all balance.
