Hourly rate not flowing through to Leave Liability Report correctly.  Can anyone please suggest what the problem might be?

    Hello Michelle

    Check the employee pay defaults.

    Payroll and Compensation area.

    Is there a pay item selected that has no pay rate.

    Need to have the normal pay rate item at the bottom of the list.

    Reckon defaults to using the last pay item on this screen.


    Especially if have employees with overtime, as these rates are higher than normal pay rate. So it will make the leave liability report incorrect.

    Thank you soooooo much :)  

    I that makes sense now what is happening.  Some I didn't have any other Payroll items in though, but I deleted that and it seemed to clear the list and I put the Item in again (that probably makes no sense .... I am really bad at explaining things) ... but it is working now.

    Thank you again :)

    Thanks Adrian, this explains why I have the correct hourly rates for some employees and overtime rates for others.

    Hi

    I have just found this post as I was having the same issue but doing this did not correct it. One person did not even have the hourly rate in their set up that the report used. But they had been paid it in the past and it happens to be the bottom payrate on their Payroll Summary report.

    How can I fix this as our Leave Liability report is still not correct even after I have put their base rates to the bottom of the list in their employee setup?

    Do I need to wait after the next pay run maybe?

    Hi @Jody

    Correct, you need to wait for the next pay run.


    As the changes you have made will be implementing from the next one. In order to update the previous one, you may need to undo the pay run and then have to mark it again.


    But I would suggest here, if you process a new pay run and then check if the leave liability report is correct and is working the way it should be, then would go and draft the previous pay runs.


    Please let me know for any concerns. Thank you!

    Regards

    So the hourly rate also needs to sit in the bottom line in the payrun processing also? We can get a lot of different rates each pay run for people that we have to add in temporarily. I would need to add these above the base rate then?

    I was always under the impression, the base rate needs to be the FIRST one, rather than the last 🤔🤔🤔🤔

    Thats what I would have thought also as you are always adding other rates after that. But when I searched in the community for why our Leave Liability is picking odd rates the above is what I found.

    @Jody Can you confirm if having that rate as the FIRST line resolves the hourly rate display issue in the Leave Liability report ?

    We had everybody set up with base rate as first line and the leave liability report is picking other rates. Which is why I am asking the questions as that seems strange. I would have thought it should pick up the rate that is under the ordinary Hour pay description.
