FAQ: How to configure paid parental leave?

To configure paid parental leave, there are four steps:

1. Create an allowance as normal - instructions here: Create an allowance
2. Map this allowance to paid parental leave type (STP → Allowances Mapping):
3. Then run a pay run against a fake/dummy client (probably best to name this client Paid Parental Leave or something similar for reporting purposes). This process is similar to a zero pay run (instructions: Zero Payrun Guide) 
   1. Ensure the shift is booked for 1 minute with no charge rate or invoice rate. Then apply the appropriate amount of paid parental leave as the addition created above
   2. Select 'Pay Member Only'
   3. Delete the invoice component from the Confirm Shift screen
4. When completing payroll, the addition will appear at the Generate Payslips stage - please review and ensure that the addition of paid parental leave has been applied correctly and update via the payslip manager as required (instructions: Payslip Manager)
