Long Service Leave

I'm trying to add LSL figures to the entitlements on the cards of two employees in 2020.2 (this new client had not been accruing them so I worked out the correct figure for the balancing adjustment which is normally a very simple process.

 

However, it no longer looks the same as the instructions available here which shows 3 columns being Carryover, YTD, Total.

https://help.myob.com/wiki/display/ar/Long+service+leave#expand-IhavejustsetupthisentitlementbutsomeemployeesarealreadyentitledtolongserviceleaveHowdoIupdatetheemployeesleavebalance

 

What I now have is 4 columns being Balance Adjust, Carryover, YTD and Total.  The only one I can manually enter anything into is Balance Adjustment.  

 

When I put the figure in, say 100 hours to Balance adjustment, the carryover figure then showed -100 hours and nil to date total.   

 

So it's wiping out whatever I bring in!!

 

None of the other columns let me enter anything.  Is this yet another glitch or am I doing something wrong?

 

I've taken a photo of the columns so you can see what it's done.

    That was the other trap.   When you put the figures in the Balancing Adjustent Column, it looks fine when you press OK.

     

    It was only because I need to change one of them again and drilled back into it that I saw it had deducted it all!

     

    Then I went back and checked all the others and they'd all done the same thing.

     

    If I hadn't had to go back into one of them, I'd have charged the client for the work and then looked like an complete idiot a few months down the track when there is no sign of it, let alone if a year or two rolls by.

    Hi carolineh 

     

    I’ve passed your comments onto the relevant teams.

     

    As mentioned, this is why we do recommend using a void pay adjustment so that there is a clear transactional record for any adjustments to an employee’s leave. That said your process is entirely up to you.

    Hi Neil, 

    Thanks for the information. I have also been able to adjust the incorrect leave balances using a void pay adjustment.  My only comment about this would be that it's difficult to understand what the new balance adjustment column is meant to be used for if a void pay adjustment is the preferred method for making adjustments. 

    Thanks for passing on the info to the relevant teams and thanks for the work around suggestion of void pay - it did resolve my immediate problem. 

Looking for something else?
