    Hi @Zheng,

    I believe B is a custom payroll item that was created. What are you using the B payroll item to track?

    Are you looking to remove it?

    Hi Jason,

    It's not needed now, so would like to remove it, could you please show me how to do that?

    Thank you

    Hi @Zheng,

    Could you please try the following for me:

    1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Payroll & Employees > Company Preferences.
    2. Under Other 2, is there a value set to "B"?
    3. If so, please change it back to "Other 2".
    4. Then go to Employee Defaults > Leave Details > Other 2 and clear the Accrual Hours Per Pay field.

    You may need to clear it from the employee record as well.

    Let me know how this goes

    Hi Jason, I have followed the advised steps, but it still accumulates when I try to do a test payroll in the "other 1" & "other 2" leave.

    Hi @Zheng,

    Have you tried leaving all the fields in the B leave section blank? It has worked for me previously, so you might want to give it a try. Please remember to click OK to save the changes after leaving it blank.

    I hope it helps.

    You might need to Verify- Rebuild your data file and see if that makes any difference.

    Not on a computer at the moment to check but try this

    If you go to the leave payroll item and click through there should be a tab that says what pay rates are to accrue leave, untick public holiday

    Yes that’s the box ……..

    Now you have to go to the Public holiday payroll item and untick it in there

    Hi Chris, I have tried, but still the same, it accumulates the hours in the "Other1" & "other 2"

    @Zheng I think you’re confusing the current accrual with the actual balance.
    Your original screenshot shows 0.00 is now accruing … BUT there’s a historical balance there of -10.00 hours ☺️
