Old leave pay items have balances.

The admin staff changed Pay Basis for 2 salaried staff in June 2022 (around time of conversion from Essentials to Business) from Hourly to Salary. This seemed to trigger 2 new leave accrual pay items...

Hi, Murph 

 

Thanks for your post.

 

To remove the balances, you can zero out the total on the employees' card file for the leave pay item. However, this will not zero out the year-to-date value of the leave pay item. To do this, you may need to process a pay run with only the exact amount of the year-to-date but a negative value against the category. This way, there will be no more balances on the old leave pay items.

 

Please let us know if you require any further assistance with this. We are happy to assist.

 

Best regards,

Doreen

Thanks for your response Doreen.

As mentioned, the Leave Pay Items with inaccurate balances are not currently listed for the employees as they were detached from the employees so the solution suggested isn't possible with current settings.

Is it ok to add the legacy Leave Pay Items back to the 2 employees, clear the balances, then detach them once corrected? I want to be clear on the process and not cause new issues. Thanks

    Thanks for your response.

     

    Yes, you can add back the leave pay items so you can clear the balances. Once done, you can remove them again from the employee's card file.
