Good day, Jenny. You can add a super rate to your leave loading to ensure that QuickBooks will automatically add the superannuation levy to any holiday leave loading in your pay run.


Here's how:
 

  1. In the Payroll Settings, click Pay Categories.
  2. Search for Leave Loading.
  3. Enter a rate in the Super Rate.

 

When applying it to a pay run, navigate to the employee’s row, click Actions, and select Take Leave. From there, enter the annual leave hours and ensure the Apply Loading checkbox is ticked to show the calculations.


QuickBooks will then automatically generate a dedicated leave loading earnings line for you. If your pay category is set to attract super, you’ll see the Superannuation Guarantee contribution increase instantly in the employee’s pay breakdown.


If you have additional concerns, feel free to let us know. We're here to help.
