accruals on unpaid leave

I have a full time employee who is really unwell and does not have much of there accrued leave left, so over the last few weeks i have paid 10 hrs A/L and the balance as unpaid leave per week to stretch it our for her.  During this time I have been giving the full accrual of A/l and P/l, which is fine, but i have just become aware that I shouldn't be giving the full accrual and it should be just on their paid A/l hours.....  Can someone please clarify fo rme if the latter is the way to go.

 

Also, public holiday coming up this week, if she is still only getting 10hrs A/l or whatever is left in P/l and the balance as unpaid leave, does she get the public holiday paid...I did read no, but if someone can clarify that would be great.

 

Lastly, i havn't setup unpaid leave in MYOB, but this is probably something i should do?

Thank you,

    Hi carla31

     

    Totally get wanting to stretch things out for her.

     

    In most setups, annual leave and personal leave only accrue on paid hours, not unpaid leave. So it’s best to have the accruals calculated just on the 10 hours of paid A/L (and any paid P/L), and not on the unpaid balance.

     

    Whether that public holiday is paid while she’s on unpaid leave is an award/Fair Work question, so it’s safest to check with Fair Work or your accountant and then mirror that in MYOB.

     

    I’d also set up an Unpaid Leave wage category that isn’t linked to any entitlements, so it doesn’t drive accruals.
