We have a payroll item called "Workers Comp". This is used to track workers comp hours and show they employee what they have been paid for. 

The only problem is that the hours entered in for "Workers Comp" are being deducted from the employees RDO accruals.  I can not see why this is happening, and it shouldn't be happening. 

Any suggestions ? We use Reckon Accounts Premier Edition 2015 - desktop.

    Hi Sheree.  It sounds like somebody has set up a special leave type called RDO.  Then, when setting up the payroll item for "workers comp" it seems that it has been inadvertently classified as being RDO hours.  To my understanding, once a payroll item has been set up incorrectly by specifying the wrong type of hours, there is no ability to go and edit the payroll item.  What you then have to do is to make this item inactive (you cannot delete it if has already been used in pay runs as is your case) and then create a new item, making sure that it is set up correctly.  That should fix your problem.  John L G

    Hi John
    Interestingly I have a Workers Comp payroll item set up also and when I use mine, it deducts LSL from the employees, which of course always goes into a negative because LSL isnt being accrued.
    I have looked at the set up for both items and can't see where the links would be. You mentioned in your reply above that it has to do with the leave type settings. Where do you find these to fix them?

    Hi Muhammad
    Sorry I don't actually use Hosted, so I am not the best person to help, as I only use desktop software at this stage. Maybe someone else on here may be able to assist you.
    Regards

    Hi Nadine, 
    During the setup of a new leave item, one of the step which is a one off event it ask you which leave item it connect to and once you made the selection you can not change it anymore.  
    the bottom line is the workers Compo item is a wrong setup and can not be fixed, its best for you to make a proper new payroll item which is not a leave type item, this will fix the issue. ?

    Hi Jay Jay, Is there a list which will show me what has been set up for leave items, because when I look at the payroll items we have set up, nothing identifies them as leave items, other than what is obviously known as leave.
