I have a client on Accounts Enterprise 2014 who has changed the leave accrual method from Annual to Per Pay, but in doing so didn't change the amount being accrued. Hence the current leave accrual balance is grossly overstated. With the new Leave Accrual reporting can you please advise the recommended method to make adjustments to leave balances so that the adjustments are correctly reflected in the Leave Accrual Summary? Thanks,

    Hi Kerry,


    Welcome to Reckon Community!

    The best way is to correct the Leave Details on the Employee record.

    Edit the Employee and go to Leave Details and enter the correct the following fields with the To-Date amounts for:
    • Hours available as of xx/xx/xx
    • Hours accrued per hour paid (Accrual Rate)
    The amounts entered will be reflected on the payslip if re-producing them again. Doing this as well will correct future pays basing on the information entered.

    Regarding the Leave Accrual Summary report, it will be updated after the next pay to accomodate those changes.

    Hope it helps!



    Kind Regards,

    Jamaiel

    HI Jamaiel,

    I am having the exact same problem with accruals but it hasn't fixed itself after the 2nd or 3rd payslip.  My accruals are grossly out ?????

    Please help?

    They were originally setup for accruing per pay period, then with the update it changed to re-set every year, which I then went and changed back to accrue per pay period. 

    I am not in the office again until Monday but I can do a screen shot of them and send to you if that helps?

    Cheers,

    Hi again,

    So accruals are correct as at 30.6.14, but then when I recorrd the 1st and 2nd payslip the accruals go out again !  They are correct prior to saving, but the problem is when I save and go back and look they are out !

    I have done this for 2-3pays after the end of financial year but still shows as out after recording.

    Hi Mirko
    I appear to have set everything up correctly (but will stand corrected) as we have just set up payroll in Accounts (as we also run it in Payroll Premier).
    I have read lots of comments about accrual issues on this forum but mine is different.
    Set up to accrue 2.92 hours per pay - no max. Date is 2010 to commence from (start date).
    The salary items have been checked that they are set up to accrue leave.
    I have input a carried forward balance.
    When in create pay cheque - there is no accrual showing in the window. Also the hours are not changing from week to week. Aarrrghhhhhhhhh

    Please help. Its good as I know that the leave is accruing correctly in Payroll Premier so I can monitor it weekly.

    Cheers

    OK I have fixed this......who would have believed that having "0.00" in maximum hours and not 'blank' would cause the errors I had.
    My leave to date has been corrected manually and I just did a dummy pay for the employees I had issues with and B I N G O its fine.

    Saved you a reply!!

    Hope this info helps someone else.

    Cheers

    Hi  Ken,

    For my situation I had adjusted leave balances, and that sent the accruals out.  For adjusting leave balances, you need to do on the last pay period  at the end of the financial year, then when you do the next pay in the new period it sorts itself out.

    Reckon tech support advised me of this and it worked for me.

    Hope this helps.
