Negative Annual leave

I'm a student and learning MYOB as one of my assigments

 

In this assessment i had to create a company and set up a payroll , employee cards, and process payroll. 

 

For this assessment no opening balance is to be entered or provided for the employees.  So all employee has zero balance for entitlements. 

 

One of the timesheets  shows that one employee has taken annual leave. Since all employees in this company starts of with zero amount of Annual leave i expect the system will tell me that this employee will go into negative amount.  

 

My question is "is there any extra step i need to do with the negative AL"? Do i simply let MYOB record a negative amount AL 

 

Many thanks

    in the real world it depends

     

    Some employers will pay annual leave in advance some will not and then it becomes leave without pay.

     

    For your exercise it will probably put annual leave into a negative balance which is fine if the assignment allows for it.

     

    The pupose of the exercise may just be to show you that annual leave is accrued every pay even if you take some on the first week.

     

    Good luck
