Hello
I need to make a lump sum long service leave payment for an employee whose employment is ending.
They receive a skill based allowance that forms part of the ordinary weekly wage. I understand that this allowance is to be included in the LSL payout.
How do I report this on their payslip and via STP? Is it absorbed into their weekly wage and reported as a total LSL payout amount or does it need to be split and shown as an allowance?
Thank you

All unused leave on termination is reported as such, regardless of the rate you use to calculate the payment. It will always include all-purpose allowances, as that is what that means. It is reported as either Paid Leave Type [Removed by moderator] or Lump Sum Payments.
No super guarantee is payable on unused leave on termination.
