🎯 The reporting of payments for Unpaid Long Service Leave (Death Benefit) has not changed per the Australian Taxation Office Single Touch Payroll Phase 1 guidance. Unpaid Long Service Leave (Death Benefit) continues to be non-reportable.
🎯 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.
Unpaid Long Service Leave (Death Benefit) is applicable when the Payee ceases employment due to being Deceased and the Payee's Death Beneficiary receives a payment for the unpaid Long Service Leave hours the payee took.
If the Death Beneficiary needs to receive a payment for unused Long Service Leave, please refer to Unused Long Service Leave (Death Benefit).
Payments with this Pay Type use the Rate Per Hour set in the Payee Master File, and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. These payments are not considered W1 (Total of Salary, Wages, and other payments), Taxable,, however they are OTE (SGAA).
