    HI ann75 


    What is the Leave pay item's calculation basis set to be? This can be checked via Payroll>>Pay items>>Leave>>Selecting the desired leave pay item-- Leave information>>Calculation basis. The importance of this is that this determines how the leave is calculated for the employee. 

     

    If the calculation basis shows Equals a percentage of wages and the Percent of shows Base Hourly (for example) it will only calculate on hours paid through that Base hourly pay item i.e. any hours paid through the Annual Leave Pay pay item will not be included in those calculations. You commonly want that that calculation basis to be Equals a percentage of wages and the Percent of set to be Gross Hours. This way all categories will be included in the calculation (you can exclude certain categories if not required using the Leave exemptions section if necessary).

    Please note: It does depend on the setup and the way you pay your employees - Help Article: Set up leave has information on setting up leave that may be more relevant to your situation and employees.

    Thank you very much for your quick response. appreciate it especially because its necxt to impossible to get someone to help on phone from the call centre.

    I followed what you said and it works fine now. I am not sure why this issue popped up this month suddenly or why the set up changed, but as long as problem is solved, its good. Thanks again.
