Prevent entitlement from accuring on unpaid leave

Anewbee

Good Afternoon

How can I prevent entitlements from accruing on unpaid leave for my salary employees? When I enter unpaid leave hours in the category on the payslip, the sick and annual leave accrual figures don’t change. For our salary employees, the sick and annual leave Entitlement Categories are set up for the Calculation basis as equals hours per pay period. I’ve tried to use the exempt button as per MYOB instructions but it's not active. What is the easiest way to stop the entitlement accruing on the payslip?

Thank you, I will appreciate your assistance.

Hi @Anewbee,

Thanks heaps, for sending through the screenshots! Sorry for any confusion with our earlier replies and for not explaining things quite right. To clarify: You can only exempt pay items from leave accrual if the calculation basis is set to percentage of gross hours, otherwise, the exempt option is greyed out. If you don’t want employees to accrue leave on unpaid leave, set them as base hourly with a percentage of gross hours calculation. For base salary employees, you’ll need to manually adjust their accruals to exclude unpaid leave hours.

Cheers,

Shella

Hi Earl @Earl_HD

My apologies I don’t quite understand a few things. When you say “Your Calculation Basis Equals xx percent of xx is correct since the employee is on salary basis”, is that a typo? as I keep mentioning our accruing leave is set up like this: Our annual leave is set up as a calculation basis: Equals 5.769 hours pay period and our sick leave is set up as a calculation basis: Equals 2.885 hours per pay period. Please see attached screen shots, I have also attached a screenshot of the Unpaid Sick Leave Wage category. I have read though the article leave and entitlements.

So are you saying I need to create a new entitlement category for personal leave & annual leave? And change the calculation basis to: Equals xx percent of xx which is different to what we currently have set up? Then do a zero pay to transfer accrued leave to the new entitlements for all salary employees?

Thanks so much for your assistance😊

Hi @Isaiah_C

I tried the suggestion to click equals% percent of gross hours then click equals hours per pay period, but it didn't reduce the sick and annual leave accrual on the pay slip. Are there any other suggestions or is it helpful for me to send screen shoots?

I would really appreciate some assistance, Thank you

Hi @Anewbee,

Sounds like you're doing all the right things already and yep, what you're experiencing is quite similar to this post here: Preventing leave from accruing on unpaid leave | MYOB Community. It walks you through a fix that should help stop those entitlements from accruing while your salary employees are on unpaid leave.

If you've given that a crack and it's still not behaving, your best bet is to jump onto our live chat support through are MOCA, our virtual assistant. They'll be able to dig a bit deeper with you.
