Hi Rosemary_23,
Thanks for the detail, you’re on the right track. Adjusting the opening balance is the right way to fix the leave.
There’s a quirk with some migrated NZ files from old Essentials where the change doesn’t show straight away. Here is a workaround for that:
- Set the Next anniversary date to today (jot down the real date first).
- Set Days added at next anniversary to 10.
- Set Max days to accrue to 20.
- Run a $0 pay dated today (just this employee) to trigger the rollover.
- Change the Next anniversary date back to the real one.
- If needed, tweak the Opening balance again to tidy things up.

Hi Genreve,
I am following your instructions but when I get to #4 there is a problem, as I have a current pay open. Is there a way to run the $0 pay without losing my current pay ?
Thanks,
Hey Rosemary_23,
There's no option to run a $0 pay alongside a current pay. When you save and close the current run, the system will prompt you to either continue the saved pay run or create a new one, so you can’t keep both going at once. With that, you can finish first the current pay or note the figures then do the $0 pay.
Cheers,
Doreen
