    Hi Anewbee,

     

    Thanks heaps, for sending through the screenshots! Sorry for any confusion with our earlier replies and for not explaining things quite right. To clarify: You can only exempt pay items from leave accrual if the calculation basis is set to percentage of gross hours, otherwise, the exempt option is greyed out. If you don’t want employees to accrue leave on unpaid leave, set them as base hourly with a percentage of gross hours calculation. For base salary employees, you’ll need to manually adjust their accruals to exclude unpaid leave hours.


    Cheers,

    Shella

Hi Isaiah_C​ 

I tried the suggestion to click equals% percent of gross hours then click equals hours per pay period, but it didn't reduce the sick and annual leave accrual on the pay slip. Are there any other suggestions or is it helpful for me to send screen shoots? 

I would really appreciate some assistance, Thank you

Hi Anewbee, 

 

When you set up leave accrual using the “equals % of gross hours” option, you’re basically telling the system how to work out how much leave your employee racks up. Once you pick this setting, you’ll see the exempt button become available up top. Give that a click, and you can pick which wage categories shouldn’t count towards leave accrual. 

 

For better visuals on the process, you can also take a look at the "adding exemptions" part of this article.

 

Regards,

Genreve

    Hi Genreve_S​ 

     

    Appreciate your reply. As mentioned in my original message "for our salary employees, the sick leave and annual leave Entitlement Categories are set up with the Calculation basis as equals hours per pay period not the “equals % of gross hours” option. Not sure if there is another way to work around this?

    Thank you

      Hi Anewbee,

      Thanks for sharing the extra details! Since the exempt button is greyed out, the best workaround is to create a new entitlement. Your Calculation Basis Equals xx percent of xx is correct since the employee is on salary basis.   Once that’s ready, just transfer the leave balances over from the old entitlement. 

      Please see this help pages for guidance. Leave and entitlements and Adjusting leave entitlements

      I hope this helps!

      Regards,
      Earl
