AU Payroll - Add Parental leave pay item
Have a paid parental leave pay item so that a balance can be input and 'drawn down' on. The employee and the employer have clear visibility on how much time has been taken and how much is left.
Since STP PH2 compliance has come in, paid parental leave has just become an earnings pay item and not a leave pay item.
The workaround of running the Payroll Activity Summary or Transaction Listing Summary report to keep track of the earnings processed for the employee, is onerous and not available to the employee.

With the induction of STP phase 2, we must report paid parental leave to the ATO as an 'earnings category'.
Currently if I select payroll - payroll settings - pay items - leave - add you get to the screen attached.
There is no option to add paid parental leave as a 'leave category'.
It would fantastic to be able to do this because paid parental leave is leave (SHOCK HORROR). It makes no sense for it to sit anywhere else.
