How to draw down LSL from 'Other' in the way that Holiday is accrued / drawn down?

AdminSBH

I've just set up an employee on LSL. I've renamed 'Other 2' to be LSL. I've set up LSL as a Payroll Item and the accrual works against the old 'Other 2' (now LSL). I've set up manually the employee current accrued hours and the 'per hour' accrual of 5 minutes per hour worked (SA). However, when I use the LSL payroll item on the employee's payslip I'm warned that "leave entered exceeds available hours". What I can't seem to do therefore is to link the new LSL Payroll Item to 'Other 2' so that when LSL is taken it draws down from the accrued LSL.

This must be common requirement so a hint on what I need to change would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nigel

@AdminSBH The most crucial part of the configuration is the initial linking to "Other 2" (eg your LSL) here. (In this particular sample file, the Other 1 tab has been named as LSL & Other 2 as TiL) These last 2 radio button options will reflect these 2 Other … tabs as per your specifically-set titles in your own company file) :

NOTE: This setting is ONLY available during initial setup so it's essential to configure this correctly at this point!

I have a guide I've written-up on setting-up & processing LSL. Feel free to email me direct if you'd like me to send it through to you 😊

Hi Nigel.

There’s no default one so yes, I’d delete the one that’s been created & set it up again ☺️

Hi Shaz, Many thanks for this reply. So I think that what you are telling me is that I should delete the Payroll Item 'Long Service Leave' that is automatically on Reckon Accounts Hosted and then set up a new Payroll Item 'Long Service Leave'?

Please confirm. Thanks! Nigel

Hi Shaz,

Thanks for this. That's done the trick! I've made a note of your details and will make contact in due course as you can probably assist me with a few 'oddities' on our accounts that could do with sorting out!😁
