    Hi @Renee

    Is there any amount actually being paid for time worked in this final Paycheque or is it just paying out AL & LSL entitlements ?

    If so, you need to:

    1. Create 2 separate pays - one for the final amount of Salary & the 2nd for just the entitlements OR
    2. Remove the Salary line & use Hourly Payroll Items instead, for paying out entitlements because these are hours-specific rather than based on the salary figure.

    The Salary Payroll Items work by automatically prorataring amounts - based on hours entered - to equal the same (pay frequency) total each pay, based on the annual Salary amount entered in the employee payroll record.

    eg If you have $ 60,000 entered in the employee record with the pay frequency set to Monthly, each Paycheque will generate $ 5,000 (because $ 5000 x 12 mths = $ 60,000)

    When paying any leave within a pay cycle, you would normally use the Salary Leave Payroll Items with the applicable hours entered. The system would then pro rata each one accordingly, to still equal the usual $ 5,000 monthly gross amount:

    • Salary 80 Hrs > $ 2,500
    • Personal Leave Salary 48 Hrs > $ 1,500
    • Annual Leave Salary 32 Hrs > $ 1,000

    Hi, yes have done that., but when i go to terminate as described, i go to final paycheck I then select appropriate employee and last pay items appear as normal. I enter 0 hours for normal salary, I select LSL and AL enter hours due but cannot change to correct amounts due, a warning appears "When a paycheque has more than one salary payroll item, you cannot edit the salary amounts......." so obviously this in not a termination payment?

    Hi Shaz

    I have paid his monthly wage already and this takes him to his resignation date.

    On his final day I will only be paying all annual leave and LSL due

    OK ... in that case, it will be my 2nd suggestion ... Remove the Salary line from the final Paycheque & just use your Hourly Leave Payroll Items 😊
