RDO accrual not reducing

Yesterday I paid out a week's worth of unused RDO's to an employee. The hours were paid out as 'RDO taken' which is the Wage item that is linked to the entitlement 'RDO accrual' therefore hours paid ...

    Yes, the entitlement wasn't linked as the employee was no longer accruing RDO's, but still had an accumulation of hours from when he was accruing. Bit of an error with MYOB really. The solution was adding the entitlement back to their card, paying out the portion of hours, zero out the automatic accrual, then go back into the card after processing the pay and removing the entitlement again.

Hi Amberdiva 

 

One thing to check for this employee, is to go to the linked wage item and change the name by adding a 1 to the end of it. This will let you confirm that the payroll category is linked to the accrual, as on the accrual the linked wage category should now have a 1 on the end of its name.

 

If it didn’t, then this would indicate that the wage category used wasn’t the linked wage category and as such wouldn’t reduce the entitlement. Additionally the employee does need to have the entitlement linked to their card as well. If the entitlement wasn’t linked, then the linked payroll category would be treated as just a normal payroll category and wouldn’t reduce the entitlement
