AU Payroll - Flag negative leave on final pay
When using the final pay function and annual leave is in negative, please flag with a "check with your bookkeeper, accountant or Fair Work before processing negative leave on a final pay." Some business owners are unaware that this may be contravening Fair Work laws.
Thanks for your patience, it’s been a little while since you raised this idea, so we wanted to check in. We've now reviewed this idea and have moved it to Gaining Support status. Our product team are keeping an eye on this idea and we will continue to share updates as things evolve.

I have just had this happen.
If a negative leave balance exists on termination then ATO/STP rejects it.
Xero has a workaround that then entitles the employee to additional superannuation.By my understanding in these instances they are only STP compliant after manipulation.
