Leave Accruals showing as negative in Other Leave

Hoping someone can help.  I have two stafff members who are set up as hourly employees. leave is calculated per hour worked however there are two payroll items that seem to be affecting the calculations.  Each time we use these payroll items it comes up with a message saying you are exceeding the leave balance as for some reason it is putting it against Other 1 and thus making it negative. I have gone into the set up of the payroll items. nothing seems wrong. it is set within that payroll item to accrue leave per hour as it is part of their weekly normal hours.  Initially these employees we set up on annual salary and have since been changed quite awhile ago to hourly.  I don't know if this is why the payroll items keep defaulting to the other leave.  Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately Leanne - the payroll item that is affecting the Other 1 leave type would have been setup for using that Other 1 leave (there is a default for each leave type and it was probably just edited without anyone realising what it was meant for)  - ie when it was used it would reduce those hours... the screen where this selection is made is only available when you create the item - and you dont see it when you edit the item... you should stop using that item and create a new regular pay item for whatever that type of pay is - and then when you tick to include in every hour worked - it will just accrue leave and wont reduce any of the leave types...

Thanks Linda I had a feeling I might have to create new payroll items. I didn't set up the payroll items initially and the person that did has left. I would say something was accidently ticked. Its a pain you cant run any reports to work out what payroll item is causing the issue. I think I know the two that are but I hope there arent any others
