Pre-August 1993 Leave Accruals

Any unused Annual Leave or Long Service Leave that was accrued before August 1993 is taxed differently and needs to appear in a different box on the PAYG INB Payment Summary to leave accrued after that date.

In the unlikely event that the employee being terminated commenced employment with you before 18/8/93 and still has some unused Annual Leave or Long Service Leave that they accrued before that date, you will need to work out the amount and deduct it from their current balances before starting the Termination Pay.

First determine whether the employee has any unused leave that was accrued before 18/8/1993 (This goes back many years before you started using Marlin HR so you will need to refer to your previous system or reports to determine the employee's start date, leave accrual rates and leave taken up to 18/8/93).

If the accrued balance as at 18/8/93 was greater than the total amount of leave taken to that date, then there was an unused balance as at 18/8/93.

From that unused balance you will then need to subtract the total amount of leave taken since 18/8/93 to see whether any of the unused balance remains.

If so, you will need to remove it from the employee's current balance using a Leave Balance Adjustment.

Before initialising the Termination Pay you will click on the employee's Options button and select which unused leave balances to pay out.

According to whether you select "Standard" termination or "Genuine Redundancy" the Termination Pay will automatically include the employee's remaining leave balances on the Term Leave Payout line and include them in the Gross Amount box or Lump Sum A box (with an 'R' beside it) on the Payment Summary.

On the Termination Pay you will click on the A/T or Term Allowance field in the This column and then click on Add and select the appropriate Allowance from the pick list for the leave type you are paying out.

Repeat this process for each leave type to pay out

The relevant Allowances for payout of these very old unused leave accruals are as below.

If you don't see these in your Allowances list, select System > Allowances from the menu and click on the Update icon to bring them in.
