Is anyone able to advise how to set up compassionate leave under a salary please?

Hi @Kathyd

You will need to use Hourly Payroll Items & enter the applicable hours accordingly, if you want to reflect this.

Hi

I have set it up as follows and it worked ok under a salary. My query is : Since this leave is outside of other leave should it be coded to Payroll Expense or can I have it to the relevant Department.

@Kathyd Is it paid or unpaid ? If it's unpaid, it won't work under a Salary because Salary Payroll Items apportion the gross earnings across whatever Payroll Items are being used in order to result in the exact same gross amount each time. If you need to pay the employee less - due to the time taken for Compassionate Leave - you will need to use Hourly Payroll Items in order to create the Paycheque for the lesser amount.

If the amount is still paid as normal but you just want it reflected separately, you can just create another Salary-based Payroll Item to track it 😊

How you track it expense-wise is up to you & the organisation's preference.
