    Hi karen-bomac 

     

    Thanks for your post. From what you are describing it sounds like the leave loading payroll category has been selected in the leave accrual entitlement under Linked Wages Category.

     

    To check this go to Payroll Categories>>Entitlements tab and open the Annual leave accrual entitlement. Under Linked Wages Category click on the down arrow and make sure Annual leave loading isn't ticked. The entitlement balance will be reduced by hours paid to the payroll categories selected in this field.

     

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

Thanks Tracey

 

That is exactly what was happening. 

 

Now the fun follow-up question . . . how do I go back and fix up leave that has been taken out incorrectly in the past? 

 

I've run some reports and it's only been happening in the current financial year, which is good news! :) Is there a way to journal that leave back into the employees' entitlements or do I have to re-run the pays? (Can I even do that?). The amount paid out was correct, just need to adjust the hours so they have the correct amount showing in my system and on their payslips.

 

Thanks

Karen

Hi Karen

 

Great to hear that was what was causing your issue. You can process an adjustment pay to add the hours incorrectly deducted back to the leave entitlement balance. So zero out all amounts/hours and enter the hours you need to add back against the leave entitlement category.

 

This help article, Adjusting leave entitlements, has step-by-step instructions.

 

Please let me know if you need further help.
