LEAVE PAYMENTS

All Leave types can be entered in either Time Entry or Manual Entry.  You can opt for them to be included automatically Auto Add in the Manual entry selection or to add the pay category when applicable.

In Time Entry you can select the type of leave taken from the “Work Type” drop down Menu.

Annual Leave

Time Entry: Part Days can be entered in the Time Entry selection by splitting the day into time worked and Annual leave, no times are required just enter the total time to be paid in the total column at the end of the row and select Annual Leave for the work type.

Full days as above

Manual Entry: – Add the Pay Category for A/L and enter the number of hours to be paid in the units field.  If you have previously set it up to be automatically included the pay category will already be visible.

Leave in Advance – Annual Leave can also be paid as Leave in Advance, this would be used if you are paying for multiple weeks at once rather than week to week.  The normal Leave accruals will be calculated for the weeks paid in advance.

Cash Out – Leave can be cashed out as per Fair work rulings.  This is paid via the Cash out button before finalising the payrun for the period.  The system will tax the whole payment including the normal pay period as one earning.  There will also be no Leave accruals calculated on the cashed out Leave.

Annual Leave Loading – Leave Loading will be automatically added on the summary screen and is based on the normal 17.5% calculation.  If the employee is not entitled to A/L Loading this should be disabled in the employee award.  See EMPLOYEE AWARD

Long Service Leave
