PS. Ah, or should my 40hr working staff, being paid 38hrs, only be accruing 2.923hrs per week A/L (banking 2hrs RDO pw)
Hi khpser,
If you've got base hourly and base salary employees, their leave accruals really should be set up separately, especially if there are hours (like LWOP) that shouldn't count towards leave. From your screenshot, the reason the Exempt option is greyed out is because the calculation basis is set to Equals X hours per pay period. With that calculation basis, MYOB will always accrue the same amount every pay run no matter what hours or pay items are used. So there's no way to exempt anything, including LWOP.
If an employee takes LWOP and shouldn't accrue leave, that calculation basis won't work because LWOP still falls in the same pay period and the accrual just happens automatically.
For the fix, change the leave accrual calculation basis to Percentage of Gross Hours. Once you do that:
- You'll be able to exempt LWOP
- Only the hours that should accrue (like base hourly or paid leave) will count
- Whatever hours you enter in base hourly or leave with pay will be the hours used to calculate the accrual in the pay run.
So in short, percentage of gross hours gives you the flexibility you need, while hours per pay period is a fixed setup and won't suit LWOP scenarios.
Regards,
Sai
