Hi Dean67 

 

Thanks for your post. The Help Article, Create payroll categories for termination payments, has detailed instructions on creating unused leave payroll categories. For a leave balance to be reduced by hours taken you need to link the unused leave wage category to the entitlement payroll category. To do this:
