Hi Anewbee,
You're totally on the right track, needing four payroll categories to cover both hourly and salaried employees for long service leave. Now, here's the kicker: since one of your employees is paid hourly and another is on a salary, you'll need two different entitlement categories to keep things correct. I'd recommend checking out this article here and a forum post on setting up long service leave and cashing it out. Plus, having a chat with your financial advisor would be a smart move to make sure everything is set up perfectly.

Thanks for your reply. After reviewing the LSL MYOB notes, I just wanted to confirm if I only need two wage categories: one for "LSL-Taken" and one for "LSL-Cashed Out"? Both ticked hourly, not ticked salary.
Can I use the same wage categories for salary & hourly employees?
Also when I enter the hours the employee is entitled to on their pay slip or in their card, do I enter all the hours towards the 'LSL-accural' or do I need to separate the hours that will be cashed out?
Thank you Anewbee
Hi Anewbee,
You can't use the same wage categories for salary and hourly folks. You'll need to create two separate wage categories – one for hourly peeps and another for the salaried ones. When you input employee hours for leave during the pay run, the system will automatically deduct and calculate their leave balances. For more details about how leaves work, check out these two articles:

Thank you for clarifying my misunderstanding about wage categories and for those extra articles I will check them out.
