Hi SDesilva, 

 

Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Community Forum. I hope you find plenty of helpful information.

 

Apologies for the late response. I understand your concern about the accrual of leave for your staff members who took unpaid leave. According to Act 2009, employees do not accrue leave when on unpaid leave. This means that if an employee takes unpaid leave, they should not accrue leave for those days. However, for the days they worked, they should accrue leave on a pro-rata basis. If an employee worked for 19 days in a month, they should accrue leave for those 19 days.

 

In this case, we recommend creating separate leave categories for the employee's unpaid leave and then exempting the base leave categories from this. This will stop calculation leave when your employee goes on unpaid leave.

 

Let me know if you still require further assistance with this.

 

 

Kind regards,

Shella
