    Hi Jennielee 

     

    If the unused leave are still not deducting from the leave accruals, kindly process another pay run with the Pay cycle of Unscheduled. Pay period start, Pay period end and Date of payment can be dated as today's date. Then on the leave accrual, enter negative number of hours to cancel out the available leave hours. You should be able to process a void pay run if your are using timesheets as long as the Pay cycle is Unscheduled.

Hi Jennielee 

 

Thanks for these details.

 

 

When linking a wage pay item to a leave entitlement, make sure to set up the calculation basis accordingly for both wage and leave pay item. To check it, The Help Article Set up leave. Once checked, please link the wage pay item to that leave pay item by going to Payroll > Pay items > Leave tab > Click the pay item name then go to Link wage pay item, select the Unused Holiday Leave.

 

Please let me know how it goes.

Hi Doreen,

 

Thank you, I have done what you suggested and linked the wage pay item to that leave pay item by going to Payroll > Pay items > Leave tab > Click the pay item name (I clicked on Accrued Annual Leave) then go to Link wage pay item, select the Unused Holiday Leave. But I get the error message 'Exemptions can only be applied to Hourly wage categories.'

And the employees Holiday Leave Accrual balance did not reduce to a zero balance. Hope you can help as the employee is waiting to be paid out her unused holiday leave.

Please see below screen shots.

    In addition, should there be PAYG tax on the unused holiday leave that is paid out ?
