Accrual of leave while on Parental leave

Hi there, I'm using MYOB Business in NZ.  Can someone please explain to me how to turn off leave accruing for an employee while on Parental/Maternity leave for 6 months?  When I called MYOB they said...

Hi dee1962

Annual leave still accrues while an employee is on maternity leave. It just accrues at $0 - then when they return to work any annual leave taken is paid at the average of the previous 52 weeks INCLUDING the time they have taken off - so the payrate will be less the std rate of pay. You should not be changing the anniversary date - MYOB have put you wrong there.

    Hi Jenniek thank you for your reply.  So, I'll just change the anniversary date back to its original?  Wonder why MYOB told me to do that.... anyway, so I just have her now as 0.00 hours/week and $0.00/hour while on maternity leave? this should then work out at accruing at $0, right?

Looking for something else?
