annual leave accural

[clairecharlie20]

Hi

I am in the process of changing our employees (work 40 hours) from 38 hour week 1 RDO per month to 36 hour week 2 RDOs per month. I have sucessfully changed the RDO accural to reflect this however am struggling to reflect this in annual leave accural. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks

Hi @clairecharlie20 

Entitlements in AccountRight are set up on a calculation basis. The calculation basis for an entitlement can be found via Payroll>>Payroll Categories>>Entitlements>>Selecting the required entitlement>>Calculation basis. There are three different methods of calculation basis that can be used - I go briefly go into them below if you would like further information on them Help Article: Leave and entitlements would be worth looking into.

• User entered amount per pay period - pretty self-explanatory, the user enters the amount per pay
• Equals x percentage of  - calculates a percentage of a particular category or series of categories*
• Equals x hours per - calculates a set amount of hours per period/month/year

In your case, updating the RDO categories/entitlement may not have impacted on the entitlement calculation, however, I would recommend reviewing your entitlements and ensuring that you have the correct setup for your needs. 

*Note: If you are using Equals x percentage of as the calculation basis do take a look at Calculating an entitlement percentage for information on how that percentage value is typically calculated.

Do let us know how you get on and if you require further assistance.
