    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 Earl Earl_HD​ 

My apologies I don’t quite understand a few things. When you say “Your Calculation Basis Equals xx percent of xx is correct since the employee is on salary basis”, is that a typo? as I keep mentioning our accruing leave is set up like this: Our annual leave is set up as a calculation basis: Equals 5.769 hours pay period and our sick leave is set up as a calculation basis: Equals 2.885 hours per pay period. Please see attached screen shots, I have also attached a screenshot of the Unpaid Sick Leave Wage category. I have read though the article leave and entitlements.

So are you saying I need to create a new entitlement category for personal leave & annual leave? And change the calculation basis to: Equals xx percent of xx which is different to what we currently have set up? Then do a zero pay to transfer accrued leave to the new entitlements for all salary employees? 

Thanks so much for your assistance😊

    No worries, thank you so much for clarifying that. I will manually adjust their accruals.
