NZ Payroll, Cash out MORE than 1 week, it's legal but not allowed in MYOB
- 4 years ago
Hi Phil_mtc
While you are able to cash up more annual leave than 1 week under certain circumstances, the software has been designed to prohibit the ability to pay out that leave unnecessarily. This is to compile with the majority of cases where they are only allowed to cash out 1 week's worth of annual leave a year.
If you are needing to pay out more than one week's annual leave a year, updating the Normal Hours per Week, processing the desired pay and then updating back would be the way in which it can be completed. Although, we do recommend ensuring that you have reviewed the pay rate of that annual leave that is being cashed up and you do consult Employment NZ or a similar organisation as to whether you meet those additional circumstancesAs to whether the software will allow that functionality in the future. To my knowledge, while we are always looking to ensure that the annual leave is paid out effectively and meets the Holidays Act, I don't foresee any major changes to the Annual Leave Cashed Out code being implemented in the future of that product range.
