Paid Parental Leave

by Jul 12, 2011

From 1 July 2011, employers will be responsible for providing parental leave pay to eligible employees who have, or adopt, a child. Centrelink will contact you if you are required to provide parental leave pay to an employee, and will provide you with the required funds before you need to pay your employee.

You will need to withhold the usual PAYG tax. However, you don’t have to pay super on parental leave pay, so it will need to be separated from other amounts that attract a super guarantee liability.

You don’t have to change your employee’s usual pay cycle, set up any special bank accounts or report back to Centrelink. Costs incurred in administering the scheme will be tax deductible.

It’s also important to note that parental leave pay does not increase your payroll tax liabilities or workers compensation premium liabilities.

?   employers can phone 13 11 58
?   employees/parents can phone 13 61 50.

What our clients are saying...

I’ve worked with Sophie as a contributor to Confessions of a Mumpreneur – a fantastic book that she dreamt up, edited and produced. Apart from producing fabulous books that help so many others realise their entrepreneurial dreams, Sophie is an astute business person who is making her mark on her own terms. Watch this space – I’m sure we’ll see and hear a lot more from Sophie Andrews in the years to come.

I got to know Sophie through my previous employer where Sophie still handles the bookkeeping side of things. While we worked together I have found Sophie very accurate, punctual and very pleasant to work with. And recommend her highly.

I was recommended to The Accounts Studio at a networking event and have been working with them for the last 2 years. The team have all been very approachable and available – two things essential when it comes to understanding your accounts! I now no longer have the stress every three months of getting my BAS correct and even better I have a clear understanding of where my company is financially! Thanks Sophie and TAS team!

Sophie has the spirit of the Entrepreneurial Business Owner! Whether she is running a successful single family website, creating a product for small business owners or running her own bookkeeping agency she is always right on track as to what small business needs. If you want to speak to someone who not only knows what business owners are going through-she also does something about it- then don’t miss out, connect with Sophie! She is someone who can not only think outside the square- she has true strategic thinking; which is often spoken about but is rarely truly placed into action.

Sophie is an amazing business woman. She is able to take the complexities of business and break them into manageable pieces for small and home based business owners to work with. She’s clever, creative, supportive and very generous. She’s the reason that so many small businesses are doing so well. If yours is a small or home based business then Sophie is someone you need to know.

I’d been stalking Sophie for a while since I saw some of the great work she did at Ideas Book. What she’s up to at the SOHO Agency is equally impressive and I’m delighted to have someone working in this space who I feel so confident referring onto others. Keep being brilliant Sophie!
