# How to set up Accentis for Paid Parental Leave (PPL)

KB102

Paid parental leave (PPL) is when the government pays one of your employees while they are on parental leave for a certain period. These payments are made through you as the employer. The government pays you and you pay the employee.

Setting up PPL in Accentis involves creating a PPL pay item specifically for this purpose, so that you can track the payments you have made and the reimbursements you have received. The net result is that there will be no additional expense to the business. The G/L account to which the pay item posts is often a clearing account instead of a wages expense account.
