    Use the Salary Personal or Salary Holiday Payroll Items - When you enter the hours, it will split the gross salary accordingly, pro rata as per the hours eg

    If you have a salary of $ 1,000 for 38 hrs & you split that to allocate 19 hrs as Salary & 19 hrs against Holiday Salary, it will split the $ 1,000 as $ 500 (so, half) against each ☺️

    Change the pay item to annual leave hourly is all I would do and enter 38 hrs times what the hourly rate works out as. As long as the total remains the same

    Thanks Kris. I'm concerned that a single leave day or only a few hours taken will mean I have to reduce the weekly salary amount. Is it possible to amend this salary amount to reflect the portion paid as leave?

    I guess you could create a pay item called Salary leave
