Paid Parental Leave - how to enter amount

I changed the default for PPL to the hourly rate for PPL. This will enable me to deduct the overpayments she had received, at her existing higher salary.

The MYOB instructions for PPL have it that PPL is a salary.  But there is no-where to set the actual PPL amount of $740.60 except to manually enter it when you do a pay.  Having this at salary then ignores any hourly fields (in this case, the overpayment of sick and public holiday pays) and so doesn't deduct the correct tax.

So very confusing.

It appears that I may be able to change to the salary setting for PPL from the following pay week (I guess this will prevent the leave from accruing) but I still have to manually enter that amount.

I will have to do similar for JobKeeper by the looks of things, if PPL is anything to go by.

Hi JulieM09 

Thanks for your post. You can add the amount of PPL to be paid each pay period into the employee's standard pay. Go to the employee card>>Payroll Details tab>>Standard Pay, change all wage categories to zero and enter the PPL amount against that wage category. When you process a payrun that amount will be prefilled in the Pay Employee window.

If you have selected Salary you can exempt entitlements from accruing by going to the employee card>>Payroll Details tab>>entitlements and unticking the applicable entitlements.

Please let me know if you need further help.
