How to set up new employee in Reckon desktop

Hi @shi

Set up the Leave Accrual period for Every Hour - This ensures it will calculate correctly, regardless of changes to hours worked.

The standard Hours accrued per hour paid for a 37.5-hr week is:

• Personal (Sick) Leave: 0.03847 (RA will change this to 0.03833 - This is just due to rounding & is fine!)

Do the same for the other Leave tabs:

• Holiday (Annual) Leave: 0.07692 (Again, RA will change this to 0.07694 which is fine!)
• Long Service Leave: 0.01667 (This will vary depending on what state you're in - This is the rate for the WA entitlement)

I set these up in my Payroll & Employee Leave default Preferences (under the Edit dropdown menu along the top toolbar > Preferences):

That way, anytime a new Employee starts, these calcs are already there. For a Casual, if you just enter "0" as the Maximum number of hours, this will prevent any accruals occurring.
