Long Service Leave Payroll Category, LSL Accrual Pay Item and Employee LSL Accrual Balance adjustment

[JoannaB]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could assist me with the following questions.

We have our first employee entitled to LSL after 10 years. The employee reached their 10 years on 6 June 2021.

We are on a Salary Pay basis not hourly.

I have created and set up the pay item Long Service Leave. 

 - pay basis - hourly

 - pay rate - regular rate multiplied by 1.0000

 - Ticked auto adjust base hourly or base salary details

 - Linked the employee to this pay item

I have then created an entitlement/Leave pay item Long Service Leave Accrual.

 - Calculation basis - equals hours per pay period

 - Hours - 32.934 per year

 - Linked the employee to the wage pay item

I have then gone in to the Employee's card file under Leave and can see the LSL Accrual pay item. Do I need to enter the hours he is entitled to i.e., 329.3346 hours under the Balance adjustment against LSL Accrual or leave this blank?

Taking into account the employee has worked 11 years and 9 months.

Thanks
