Hi dee1962,
Employee is entitled to leave accruals even during arental/maternity leave. And yes you are correct, the leave accrued value will be zero unless it is the employee's leave anniversary date or they have passed their leave anniversary date, at which point their current leave available will be topped up. This information can be viewed by navigating to Payroll > Employees > Select employee profile > Leave > Annual holidays > Current leave available.
If the leave anniversary date has not been reached, the leave accrued value will be reflected in the estimated leave advance. The estimated leave available is simply the difference between the current leave available and the leave accrued.
For final pay, the system will automatically calculate the values. On the review/breakdown page, the leave accrued or estimated leave in advance will be paid out at 8% of their total value. For regular pay, including leave, the employer has the discretion to deduct leave accrued hours if the employee lacks balances in their current leave available. This deduction will be taken from their accruals and will affect the amount that rolls over to the next leave anniversary.
