Hourly Rate for Annual Leave

Hello - i've been using essientals for a year now.  Really miss not having a support person to contact.  When calculating AL should an addition such as rent boost up the hourly rate when on annual leave?  The employee doesn't actually pay rent as its a deduction as well so nets itself off but they are taxed on the amount.  Thansk in advance for your help.

    Hi AlanaCK 

    Yes it will increase their leave rate if the allowance is included in gross earnings - which I would expect that a rent allowance would - it depends what their contract says. I have attached a snip from employment.govt.nz where it says the cash equivalent of lodgings form part of gross earnings. Hope this helps.
