Terminating employee with outstanding leave that will not be paid

Good Morning,

 

I have an emoloyee who has left but is over in her annual leave (bosses daughter) the boss doesn't want her to pay any of it back. How do I terminate her & 0 balance out her leave?

 

Thank you

  • Hi Lisa10 

     

    Should you be needing to remove annual leave and other leave hours for the employee without paying them you want to complete the following process:

    1. Navigate to the required employee in the Maintain Employees
    2. Select the Leave tab
    3. Overwrite their Holiday Pay Due value to be 0.00
    4. Overwrite their Annual Leave Due as at xx/xx/xxx value to make the Current Annual Leave Due balance 0.00 i.e. make that Annual Leave Due as at xx/xx/xxx a negative (consideration would need to be taken into account for the [Less] Annual leave taken since value)
    5. Select the Other Leave tab
    6. Update the Current Alternatively Holidays due value to be 0.00

    By zeroing out those records it makes the employee open to having their Finish Date and Reason entered in the Employment Details. Once those values have been entered the employee will become an Ex-employee.

     

    Note: Removing the level values from an employee to make them allowed to be manually terminated is something that should only be in certain circumstances. We do recommend running the situation across an organisation like Employment NZ to ensure that there are no other obligations that need to be paid to the employee.

    I have the same problem but if I go into the leave tab - Annual Leave owing, it is greyed out so I am unable to zero out the leave owing.  Please help!

    Hi Jo8 I am not sure why it is greyed out as I was able to put it to zero. Perhaps ask an MYOB expert. Sorry i couldn't be more helpful.

    Hi Jo8 

     

    With MYOB Payroll Desktop (NZ), a user will not be able to directly impact the Current Annual Leave due. As such, if you are needing to remove leave for an employee for any reason you would be looking at updating that Annual leave due as a xx/xx/xxxx due value. Ensure that you are updating the Hours, as the weeks value will be greyed out.
