MYOB Teams annual leave management not automatically deducted base pay in payrun

Question

Hi there,&nbsp;I have just done a trial run on using MYOB Team as a leave management tool.&nbsp; I had an employee download the MYOB Teams app and request a half day leave.&nbsp;Firstly, it didn't let him enter his leave in hours - he had to choose a start time and end time, which ended up calculating his leave incorrectly.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I went into the admin section to approve his leave - it automatically transferred it to a timesheet.&nbsp; I was able to edit the timesheet to the correct amount to hours he was taking off, however when it calculated his pay for the week, it put the annual leave time into the annual leave entry but didn't deduct these hours from his base rate, like it would if I enter it manually.&nbsp;&nbsp;Am I missing something or is this another annoying glitch in the "new" MYOB essentials?&nbsp;

Hi Think1&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Thank you for your post.&nbsp;

Usually, the reason why leave is not accruing is because the leave pay item is not set up correctly. Kindly check the calculation basis for the leave pay item. This can be checked via Payroll &gt;&gt; Pay Items &gt;&gt; Selecting the desired leave pay item (leave information) &gt; Calculation Basis. The importance of this is that it determines how the leave is calculated for the employee.
&nbsp;
Additionally, please tick "Automatically adjust base hourly or base salary details" on the leave pay item. This will automatically calculate the accrued leave per paycheck.

Thanks for getting back to me, sorry I have been on leave so only just seeing your response now.

I went into the pay item as you suggested, however the check box you mentioned is already checked. Is there something else I need to be doing?

Can you try to go to the leave tab and check the calculation basis of your leave pay item, and please make sure that your leave pay item is linked to the correct wages pay item, e.g. Annual leave accrual is linked to wages pay item name: annul leave pay. Kindly go to Payroll &gt;&gt; Pay Items &gt;&gt; Select the Leave Tab &gt;&gt; Pay Item Name.
&nbsp;
Please let me know how you go about this.
&nbsp;
Cheers,

The items appear to be linked to the correct wages pay item - but the calculation basis says "user-entered amount per pay period" is this wrong? Should I choose a different option?
