    Hi StewartN 

     

    You need to have two separate entitlement categories -

     

     

    Then click on Employee at the top of the Entitlement Information window and link the employees to the applicable category.

     

    If you are in the Employee Card>>Entitlements tab and open the Holiday Leave Accrual category this opens the same window that you open by clicking on Payroll Categories>>Entitlement tab. So any changes you make in that window will affect all linked employees, it is not specific to the employee card you open it through.

     

    I hope that helps clarify it for you, let me know if you need further help.

Thanks Tracey

 

we have done this previously and as soon as we change the part timers leave accrual to % it defaults the salaried workers to % as well. Not sure why it would do this.

Hi StewartN 

 

That is very strange.  I have tested this in my system by creating a new Holiday Leave Salary entitlement category and then swapping between % and fixed hour in both categories. They stayed at whatever I changed them to. 

 

 

So that I can help resolve this for you can you provide me with screenshots of the entitlement category setup for the Hourly and Salary categories.

    Hi Tracey

     

    for the fulltime workers we tick "equals 2.9203 per pay period", for the part-time hourly worker we in the past ticked "equals 7.6923% of gross hours"

    HI again

    Just looking at the Entitlements page, we only have set up annual leave accrual as fixed hour. Am now thinking that because we don't have % accrual in there , that is why things revert??

     

    Even though in the individuals setup, there is the option to choose fixed or %. Hope I'm making sense
