🎯 The reporting of payments for Return to Work are now disaggregated per the Australian Taxation Office Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 guidance. Rather than being included in Gross, Return to Work is now reported separately under Lump Sum Type Code = W.
🎯 If you are unsure if this Pay Type applies to your circumstances, please refer to the Payee's Employment Contract or obtain advice from either the Australian Taxation Office or Fair Work Ombudsman.
Return to Work is applicable when the Payee is being paid a bonus to encourage them to return to the employer, end industrial action and have employees resume work or withdraw their resignation.
Return to Work uses the $ (or % of Rate Per Hour) set within the Pay Rate and Leave Entitlements are not applicable. Payments with this pay type are considered to be W1 (Total of Salary, Wages & other payments), Taxable and Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE).
