Hi Kellie,
How I do this is to go to the Payroll Item list, then do a fast report on the leave payroll item, then change the date range, then modify the report and filter by that employee. If you then also add the column for hours it will show you the hours too.
This will then give you not only a total for the year, but when it has been taken.
Kind regards,
