Annual Leave not accruing

Hi there,

We have recently moved over to MYOB Business Lite.

I am new to setting up employees for payroll. I have noticed that the annual leave is not accruing or showing on payslip each week.

On the employee cards, under Salary & wages, for some reason the salary amount is $0.00.

I'm assuming that there should be a gross amount figure in it?

 

Apart from the salary amount, is there anything else I need to check or to make sure the leave accrues, and how would I alter leave accrued to date?

 

Thank you

 

 

  • Hi PC407,

     

    Nice work getting into payroll setup. It can be a bit to figure out at first, but you're absolutely on the right track! The reason the salary amount is showing as $0.00 is because it hasn't been setup yet. MYOB doesn't fill that in automatically. You need to enter their correct pay rate or annual salary. Once that's in, It can start calculating everything properly, including leave.

     

    Also, make sure the leave pay item is set up to accrue correctly:

    • If the employee's paid hourly, the accrual should be equals a percentage of wages.
    • If they're on a salary, it should be equals dollars per pay period.

    Once those are sorted, leave will start showing and accruing on the pay slips just as it should. Here's a handy article that runs through how to check and set that up: Leave and entitlements.

     

    Regards,
