Hi Sam
Thanks for your reply.
The setup is as you have suggested with a separate 'workers compensation' payroll category and relevant amounts entered each pay cycle. The annual leave accrual is set up and the 'workers compensation' category is not exempt.
However the annual leave accrual is zero and has to be manually entered at this stage.
The setup of the 'workers compensation' category included overriding the employee wage expense account (as per guidelines from MYOB).
Has this caused the problem?
Kind rregards

Hi JoR,
I'm not aware of this being a cause for an issue like this.
Were you able to provide a screenshot of both categories set-up and attach it in your reply?

Hi JoR
Thanks for those screenshots. The expense account selected in Override Employee's Wage Expense Account only determines how the payment will be reported in financial reports like the P&L. If you do select a different account in this option the Workers compensation amounts will be reported separately to the Wage and Salary amounts.
As explained by Sam_R , leave accrual is calculated according to the set up of the entitlement payroll category and how the payments are entered in Process payroll. Can you go to Payroll categories>>Entitlements tab>>open the leave accrual category and check the Calculation basis selected.
If it's Equals % of Gross hours, click on Exempt and make sure the workers comp payroll category is not ticked. Then make sure that hours are being entered against the workers comp wage category when processing a pay.
If you continue to have problems with this can you provide the following screenshots:
- leave accrual payroll category set up
- the exempt window in the leave accrual payroll category
- a sample pay transaction
Let me know how you go.
