Unpaid Annual Leave and setting up Pay and Leave items

I have a salaried employee who has only worked for two months and needs to take unpaid annual leave as the leave hasn't accrued. I am wanting to add the exemption "Leave without Pay" to the Leave Item 'Annual Leave - Salary' so that the unpaid leave doesnt accrue leave when taken.  In the "Annual Leave - Salary' item it won't let me add any exemptions -it is greyed out and shows no options in the dropdown box.

Here is a screenshot:

Can anyone help please?

    Hi sueoptom 

     

    Thanks for your post. When the Calculation basis is set to Equals hours per period, a fixed rate is accrued per pay period regardless of pay items and hours worked. As it is a fixed rate you can't exempt pay items from the calculation. You would need to zero out the leave accrual when recording the pay run for unpaid leave.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
