🎯 The reporting of Compassionate & Bereavement Leave payments is now disaggregated per the Australian Taxation Office Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 guidance. Rather than being included in Gross, Compassionate & Bereavement 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.
Compassionate & Bereavement Leave is applicable when the Payee is being paid for their absence from work to help them deal with the death, life-threatening illness or injury of a member of their immediate family or household.
Compassionate & Bereavement 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 W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments), Taxable and Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
