Annual leave accrual for employee on workers compensation

Question

How can I get annual leave to accrue for an employee who is on workers compensation?

The expense account used for workers compensation is different to the usual salaries and wages account code.

It can be entered manually but would be good to have it set up to accrue automatically.

Hi @JoR

Thanks for those screenshots. The expense account selected in Override Employee's Wage Expense Account only determines how the payment will be reported in financial reports like the P&L. If you do select a different account in this option the Workers compensation amounts will be reported separately to the Wage and Salary amounts.

As explained by @Sam_R , leave accrual is calculated according to the set up of the entitlement payroll category and how the payments are entered in Process payroll. Can you go to Payroll categories>>Entitlements tab>>open the leave accrual category and check the Calculation basis selected.

If it's Equals % of Gross hours, click on Exempt and make sure the workers comp payroll category is not ticked. Then make sure that hours are being entered against the workers comp wage category when processing a pay.

If you continue to have problems with this can you provide the following screenshots:

* leave accrual payroll category set up
* the exempt window in the leave accrual payroll category
* a sample pay transaction

Let me know how you go.

Hi @JoR,

I'm not aware of this being a cause for an issue like this.

Were you able to provide a screenshot of both categories set-up and attach it in your reply?
