Employee annual leave is not deducting from the annual leave balance.

Question

We have recently migrated from MYOB Exo Service to MYOB Business Payroll. However, for salaried staff, I am unable to get the annual leave balance to deduct correctly.

For example, if I enter 1 day of annual leave and 1 day of sick leave under “Holidays and Leave,” the system correctly shows the annual leave pay and sick leave pay. However, the total salary amount becomes incorrect. If I adjust the “Salary Hours,” the amount also becomes a few cents different.

Could you please advise the correct setup or processing method for salaried employees on leave?

Hi TML726​&nbsp; - yeah that's not ideal. Business Payroll is quite basic. You would need to amend the $ and worked hours to get the total salary to be the same.

Hi Jenniek,Thanks for the reply.#1. I was told that for salaried employees, we normally should not manually reduce the “Salary Hours” to offset leave, as annual leave or sick leave should automatically reallocate part of the salary into the leave categories while keeping the total gross salary the same.Could this be due to a setup issue on our end, as we have only recently converted to Business Payroll?If that’s the case, could you kindly guide me through the correct setup steps? Alternatively, is there a step-by-step guide or manual available for this?#2. I noticed a note stating that “employees on a salary pay basis must be linked to the pay item.” Could this be the reason why annual leave/sick leave for salaried employees is not automatically reallocating part of the salary into the leave categories while keeping the total gross salary the same?&nbsp;If so, could you please advise how to set this up correctly? I’ve also attached some screenshots for your reference.Note: I have tried "creating new earnings pay item", but under the "Type" field, the only options available are "Salary and Wages" and "Allowance" (please refer to the attached screenshot). Some notes said that we should choose "Salary" only.I apologise for all these questions, but I’m finding it quite frustrating to work through this new system. I really appreciate your patience and any guidance you can provide.Thank you in advance.
