Wrong pay item used

Question

An employee was paid personal leave but it should have been unpaid leave. Their personal leave accrual is minus 116.25 hours, and their annual leave accrual is positive 65.19 hours. So next pay I can partly adjust to: Annual Leave: +65.19 hours & Sick Leave: -65.19 hours

This leaves sick leave accrual at -51.06 hours that I need to change to unpaid leave, and I'm unsure how to do this, so that it adjusts the sick leave accrual back to zero.

I know I could over the next pays take out 37.5 hours & the following pay week unpaid leave 13.56 hours so I would make the following pay 13.56 hours unpaid leave.

My question then is how will this reflect to show a sick leave accrued back to zero, as I seem to be able to put negative to sick leave and but can't add a positive to unpaid leave, in the browser version of AccountRight.

Hi OMHNRE,
&nbsp;
If it's just a wrong pay item and you haven't made any adjustments yet, you can simply reverse and reprocess the pay run. Alternatively, you can go the void pay route! Here's how: process a void pay with either a positive or negative value for the messed-up pay item and zero out all other pay items like wages, deductions, allowances, and other leave entitlements. If this doesn't resolve your query, feel free to contact our support team directly for more help. You can find a variety of support options available here.

Cheers,
Princess

I understand how to reverse personal leave pay to annual.

What I don't understand is that I can't reverse negative personal leave to positive unpaid leave.

I have attached a mock up of the next two pay runs for this employee. What is displayed in this mock up correct?

Hi Princess_R&nbsp;To clarify my screenshots are correct, in particular that in the Unpaid Leave amount column I put the amount figure, correct?&nbsp; And the employee would have been paid SGC when paid as Personal Leave, so how is this adjusted when Unpaid leave does not attract SGC?
