Flex time (TOIL) and annual leave accrual
I am trying to set up Flex Time wages categories for use by our employees, using timesheets. I have set up Flex Time - Earned and Flex Time - Taken as Wages categories to capture the hours. I have set...
Forum Discussion
Thanks Doreen.
I have excluded Flex Time - Earned from Annual Leave accrual (and this accrual is correct when an employee is earning flex time) but Flex Time - Taken is NOT EXEMPT which I take to mean that when an Employee has this wage category in their timesheet, the annual leave accrual should INCLUDE these hours. However this is where the error is occurring and the annual leave accrual is too low for the time period.
Any other ideas please?

Hi, TAGCRU
Thanks for your prompt response.
Leave taken will be calculated on a base-hourly basis only. However, if you wish to calculate it differently, you will then need to change the setup of the flex time wage category (fixed hourly rate of) and then enter the amount per hour that you want to include in the calculation. You could also send a screenshot of how you set up the flextime wage category. Please make sure to remove sensitive information before posting in the Forum.

Hi Doreen,
Here's what I've set up - am just using the Clearwater company sample file while I test this issue thoroughly so no sensitive information:)
If I understand your response correctly, you're saying I should use a fixed accrual rate for holiday pay so that the flex time earned or taken does not impact it? I would prefer to avoid this if possible as we have a lot of part time employees on varying standard hours, and these hours can and do change relatively frequently.
Thanks again for your continuing help - am determined to get to the bottom of it!
Hi, TAGCRU
Thanks for sending the requested screenshots.
As per checking the screenshots, the only reason why leave accrual is accruing less than what it is supposed to be is because a wage-pay item is exempted from accruing leave. Kindly send us a screenshot of the exempt window of the leave accrual.
We're looking forward to your response.
Best regards,

- Hi Doreen Screenshots in previous message included the exempt wage categories for Holiday Leave Accrual. I have selected Flex Time - Earned to be exempt (as we do not want to accrue holiday leave on these hours) but NOT selected Flex Time - Taken as exempt (as these hours form part of the employee's standard hours and should accrue holiday leave). File included again for easy reference. So I'm still not sure why the holiday leave accrual is not taking the Flex Time - Taken wage category into account and including these hours in the total Gross Hours. Thanks for your continued help.
