🎯 The reporting of payments for Long Service Leave are now disaggregated per the Australian Taxation Office Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 guidance. Rather than being included in Gross, Long Service Leave is now reported separately under Paid Leave Type Code = O.
🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from either the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.
Long Service Leave is applicable when the Payee is being paid for their absence from work. Long Service Leave is a national workplace entitlement that most long serving employees, including casuals, are eligible for.
Long Service Leave uses the Rate Per Hour set in the Payee Master File (100.00%) and Leave Entitlements are applicable, provided the rules have been configured. Payments with this pay type are considered to be W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments), Taxable and Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
