What I would like to know, is when I pay the termination payment to the trustee of the deceased employee, what are the MYOB categories that I put these payment against??
Also, when I set up the Payment Classification -''Death Benefit ETP', as PAYG exempt and 'not reportable', do I overide the Employees Wage Expense Account? and if so - to what account do I put it? I am assuming I have to do this, as the payment is not being paid to the employee, but to the Trustee of his estate???
