IMPORTANT: Please Update/Review Paid Family Domestic Violence Leave

We has been bought to our attention via our integrated pay engine provider that there was recently an issue related to how Paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave (PFDVL) accruals were being calculated, which may have impacted your organization.
 
What happened?
 
An update to some awards within the pay engine, has resulted in a change to how PFDVL accruals are calculated in Leave Allowance Templates (LATs).

Specifically, the calculation method was being updated from "BASED ON A LEAVE YEAR" to "ON AN ONGOING BASIS." This change may have resulted in some employees accruing PFDVL incorrectly (accruing more, not less).

To resolve this, the pay engine has republished the affected awards.

If you have any pending award updates appearing on your Roubler Dashboard (as below), it is crucial to review and, if necessary, adjust PFDVL accruals for your employees.

Important action required:

1. Install the latest Award updates
2. Check Paid Family and Domestic Violence Leave (PFDVL) accruals for your employees by running the Leave Balances Report
3. If any employees have accrued PFDVL incorrectly, a leave adjustment will need to be applied by running an ad hoc pay run > adjust leave balance

Steps on how to complete:

• Process Pay run as normal for the Week , Fortnight or Month
• Finalize the pay run as normal
• Once finalized check if there is a notification for an award update for PFDVL
• Once the award update has been installed Please Run a leave balance report
• Run report as at the current date Select PFDVL for the leave type
• Open report filter on balance and remove all employees who have a balance of 10 days or less than 10 days
• Process a pay run with empty pays If only a few employees on the spreadsheet add them in manually
• Go to each of the employees on your report Delete all other employees from the pay run
• Go to actions and select leave adjustment for PDFVL enter negative amount where required to ensure the PDFDVL balance is 10
• Once the pay run is checked you will need to ensure all figures on the bottom totals are set to ZERO and then finalize the pay run and DO NOT CREATE STP or PROCESS PAYSLIPS
• Re run the report to ensure no balances are above10
