Annual Leave Alert

Hi King1981,

Generally speaking, leave loading is an extra 17.5% on top of an employee's normal wage for the period taken off. That being said, this will usually be set up differently from your Annual leave entitlements, and if this warning message is appearing when hours are entered against it, there is something wrong with the setup. 

If you were to go through each of your Accrual-based entitlements, locate the Linked Wages Category section, open the dropdown, find the Leave Loading item and make sure it is UNTICKED from the list. If a wage item is selected in this section, it will reduce the entitlement balance by any hours paid. 

If you have further queries or require further assistance, please do reach out - happy to help!

Thanks Sam - I have checked out all of that and it looks fine.  It did only start to happen after a upgrade.

Any further ideas ?

Thanks

Hi King1981,

Thanks for letting me know. 

Is your file online? If so, could you please open the software in the browser version and let me know if the leave loading item appears as a linked wage category there at all? Payroll > Pay Items > Leave > open each entitlement listed to see if leave loading is listed under the 'Linked Wage Category' section. 

Let me know if its the same case for the online version too. 

Hey Sam,

I went in through the web browser and everything seems fine.  Just one thing it is not deducting the leave loading from the staffs entitlements, its just including it in the error message so if someone has 20 hours of leave and has 20 hours of entitlements ion their card and they get 20 hours leave loading the message will say that they have -20 hours, so it  means I have to go in and check the card entitlement at all times.

Do you have any other ideas?

Hi King1981,

Thanks for checking that. 

Would you be able to provide a screenshot of the warning message that appears?
