Hi GPC2
Thanks for your post. When paying leave in advance you can either process separate pay runs or in Process Payroll>>Pay Period window tick Pay leave in advance to process the leave in one pay run. The Help Article, Paying leave in advance, has full instructions.
I'll also give you this Help Article, Leave without pay, which has step-by-step instructions for setting up and paying leave without pay.
Please let me know if you need further help.
