Adding Annual & Personal Leave to an Employee on WorkCover not at work

Question

I have an employee on WorkCover, WorkCover is paying there wage.

He still accrues annual leave and personal leave. How do i add this to balance out EOFY with correct hours. I know i have to add the amount of weeks he has been off work, do i then add this to the current balance?

His last pay before going on WorkCover was 23/10/25.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Can you please step me thru how you would do this?

I am wanting to pay some annual leave out before EOFY, and trying to work the best way out.

Thank you.

Manually editing leave is risky as it can impact the internal calcs.  This can then cause corruption as a result which in some cases, is non-repairable 😬

Create a $ 0 net Paycheque for each payment instead, via a new “Workcover” Payroll Item - configured to accrue leave (but no PAYG or Super!) - & a Deduction Payroll Item to remove the gross $0 values only.

This prevents monetary YTD changes but still ensures leave calculates as normal  😊
