LEAVE ACCRUAL PER PAY/PER TIME WORKED

JEN

Hi Team,

I recently tried to change the annual & personal leave settings from "Per pay" to "Per time worked" prior to a pay run for our employees as I wanted to use this feature as a preferred method to calculate leave.

However, when it came time to do the pay run, I noticed that a couple of people's leave that should have been reduced due to their time worked, it calculated it as normal.

As I use the "Copy pay items from previous pay" is this why it didn't work?

Thanks.

Hi @JEN

I'll do some testing on this but you might be on to something in regard to the Copy Pay Items option. Just as a one-off, if you attempt to create the payrun using the option to enter pay items manually, do you recieve a different result when it comes to leave calculation?

Hi @JEN

Could you please confirm if, in addition to the Leave settings, you have made any changes to the Employee Earning - Pay items?

Specifically, have you created a new Earning Pay item for employees and started using it in the pay run? If so, please ensure that the option for Leave accrual is enabled for this pay item.

Check the screenshot for your reference -

Please let us know for any concerns. Thank you!

Regards

Tanvi

Hi @Rav

I haven't tried to do the pay run using the option to enter pay items manually. I wonder if this will make a difference?

Hi @Tanvi_kataria

Update…I just noticed that the box you indicated in the example above wasn't ticked in my settings. I will update it now and see if that makes a difference next pay run.

Thank you both and look forward to your replies/help.

Hi Jen

I just did a bit of testing in my own book and I have a feeling I might have an idea of what's happening but before that just have a couple of questions.

Where did you change the option to calculate leave from per pay to per time worked? Was it the default rates section within the leave item itself? Screenshot example below.

If so, did you also update the leave item from per pay to per time worked in the respective employee's profile?

Or does it currently still show as per pay for the accrual method when you view one of those employees?
