Leave entitlements

Hello community

I use MYOB AccountRight Plus AU 2020.2.2

I'm having an issue with leave entitlements not accruing for salaried staff and after reading all the forum posts, still do not have an answer.

 

I have set up wage categories and entitlement categories for each leave type, assigned them to employees to accrue at a set rate per pay period but they are still not accruing.

 

Only thing I can think of is on the wage category the hourly dot is highlighted. Not the salary. I'm reluctant to change this as all forum notes say it does not matter, and I don't want to reset all the opening balances that are currently entered.

 

Any ideas?

    Hi Viv2777 

     

    In terms of the accrual, the wage category set up to pay out the leave has no bearing on the calculation at all. Indeed, you can have an accrual set up without having a wage category set to pay it out so this is unlikely to be the cause.

     

    To pin down what’s causing this, if you have an hourly employee are you able to assign this category to them through the Payroll Categories >> Entitlements >> This Entitlement >> Employees window as if they were going to be receiving this entitlement. Once assigned please go to Process Payroll and select just that one employee. What I’m interested in is if the entitlement does or doesn’t show the number of hours. Once you’ve checked this you can remove this entitlement from the hourly employee to keep your records tidy.

     

    Assuming the entitlement figures show on the on screen payroll transaction, then it would seem to indicate an issue with regards to specific employees, however if it didn’t work for any off them its potentially an issue with the entitlement itself not working, and may require a new entitlement category set up.
