I needed to manually adjust an employee's LSL balance as an error had been made - the accrual screen in the employee's record and the leave liability report both show the correct entitlement balance however both the leave accrual summary report and the employee's payslip record both reflect a 'bizarre" negative value. Can anyone explain this discrepancy? I'm using the Hosted version of Reckon.

Hi Wendy
Make sure you have the "Leave Accrual Summary" set to "This Payroll Year-to-date" when comparing ...
Are they still different? Can you identify what the difference is?

Yes the leave accrual summary is set to 'this payroll year-to-date' but the reports still differ - the accrual summary report is (396) hours whereas the leave liability report is 188 hours (which is correct) - I only reduced the LSL balance in the employee record by 104 hours so the discrepancy is quite bizarre.0

That's very interesting because that difference is exactly double ...
You can drill down on the "396" hours figure in that Leave Accrual Summary & view each pay's leave accruals/balance.
Have a look at that & see if that sheds a bit more light on what's happened.Shaz Hughes Dip(Fin) ACQ NSW, MICB

Drilling down shows me the change in the entitlement across two pay slip - the first being the LSL entitlement before I made the change in the employee record (ie 292 hours) and the second showing the incorrect entitlement of (396) hours after I amended the balance in the employee record but no other information Shaz. Agree the discrepancy between the 2 reports is strange as it's twice the 292 hours that were accrued before I reduced the balance to 188 hours.0

Hmmm .... When you amended the balance, you didn't also amend the "Hours used this year" as well did you?
I had to do a LSL balance adjustment back last year across all employees for one business & didn't have any problems with the balances not matching afterwards ...Shaz Hughes Dip(Fin) ACQ NSW, MICB

No Shaz and the hours used this year are correct0
-
Without seeing it all, it's hard to pinpoint what's causing it ....
Do the Pay v Payslip balances match on the last current pay run?
If not, is the discrepancy exactly the same leave type/qty as you stated above?

Do you mean the payslip and leave accrual summary report Shaz? - these are both showing (396) hours and the leave liability report shows 188 hours.0

Great work Wendy, long process but at least it does get resolved.
