Payroll item accrued leave

Hi there,

We have a payroll item for workers' compensation. From my checking, employees are not accrual sick leave when they on workers compensation but do accrual annual leaves. So my problem is, the workers comp. payroll item has to accrual/not accrual sick leaves and AL at the same time. Is there any way I can separate those two leaves from this payroll item?

    In the details of the sick leave and AL you should be able to tick what pay rates are included

    Hi @TonyS

    Unfortunately not, automatically it can only either calculate (all) leave or none 😫

    The 2 workarounds I can think of (just off the top of my head) are either:

    1. Create & use 2 separate Payroll Items for W/Comp - 1 configured to accrue Leave & 1 that doesn't. You'll then need to use both on the pays (one with a Nil rate so just the leave is affected)
    2. Edit the employee record ("Hours available as of ...") manually 

    (The 2 Payroll Items would be my preference to ensure system consistency - manual adjustments can be fiddly due to unpredictable results)

    Sorry, Sharon is correct. I was thinking of the payroll item for super where you can tick the rates that apply

    Hi Shaz,

    Thanks for your reply. I have changed leave accrual manually in employee's file.

    I'm not quite understand your 1st method though. When I entered hours for the payroll item which accrual leaves, as you explained, wouldn't it accrual both leaves? I'm still not able to separate those leaves.
