AL accruing on normal hours not including annual leave taken

Hi Forum

 

I'm trying to process a pay where the employee has taken 11.4 hours AL.

 

I've entered the AL hours which adjust the normal hours (38) but it also adjusts the AL and PL accrued for that week.

 

AL should accrue when employee is on AL so the AL accrual figures should be 2.923% and 1.461% for PL.

 

It's set up so that the AL hours taken are deducted from the normal hours which of course means the AL accrual figure is going to calculated on the reduced normal hours.

 

On this occasion, I've manually adjusted the accrued AL and PL hours but going forward, can I adjust it so it calculates correctly automatically?

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi Accounts12341 

     

    To exempt, you'll need to exempt wage categories from being included in the 'Gross Hours' for the specific entitlement calculation. 

     

    In order to do that, please drill into the entitlement category, change the calculation basis to % of 'Gross Hours', then the 'Exempt' button at the top will become available. In your screenshot, while it's still calculating at % of hours worked from a single wage category, there is nothing to be exempt. 

     

     

    Please feel free to let us know how you go.

    Hi Accounts12341 

     

    The AL accrual hours adjusted itself because it's set to be calculation only based on the hours entered for the 'Base Hourly 38hrs' wage category. When the hours of this wage category changes, leave accrual will change accordingly.

     

    What you can consider instead, is setting the entitlement calculation basis to be % of 'Gross Hours', then use the 'Exempt' option to choose which wage categories should not be included in the gross hours total. For detailed instructions on how this works, please check out this online Help article: Leave and entitlements.

     

    Please note that changing the entitlement calculation basis will change it for all employees linked to this entitlement category. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

    Thanks CloverQ

     

    That makes perfect sense.

     

    Now I just have to work out how to exempt it.

     

    As per the following, there's no option to expempt AL under the wage category and there's no option to exempt anything (including the wage category) under AL.

     

    I've gove through several MYOB Support pages and can't work out how to add something to the exemption list.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks again
