An employee who has been on paid government parental leave returned to work a couple of days earlier than expected. We have therefore overpaid this employee the parental leave pay, and have been advised by Centrelink that they will recoup the gross amount directly from the employee & we (the employer) will repay the PAYG withholding to the employee. We should also not report the overpaid gross amount on the EOY payment summary.
My question is - how do I do this, given we are not actually recouping the gross amount? Normally I could just do an adjustment in the pay run, but in this case, that would leave us with a payroll receivable amount in the balance sheet. And with STP, in XERO, I don't think I can manually adjust gross pay amounts in the payment summary? Any guidance much appreciated.
