Dear Princess,
The leave had already been set up for the different staff.
My issue is I have never had to adjust personal leave balances. Can you point me in the right direction?
First I will need to work out which staff were employed 6 years before 2018, then work how much leave they used each year and do the adjustment. Would it be better to the adjustment every year or just to the end of 2025?
Hi JBWEPS,
Good question, especially when the leave is already set up and it’s the adjustment part that needs sorting. Since the leave is already in place for your different staff, the next step is to use leave entitlement adjustments to make sure each person ends up with the right balance. We’ve got a handy help link on adjusting leave entitlements that walks through how to do that.
As for whether it’s better to adjust year by year or just bring everything to the correct balance at the end of 2025, that’s one to check with your accountant. They’ll be able to guide you on which adjustment method makes the most sense for how you want the records handled.
Cheers,
Doreen
