Accrued leave carried over from last year

I am having issues with some of my employees accrued leave balances not carrying over from last year.  I have read that there is no need to close off a payroll year anymore, only to finalise STP. D...

    Hi AmberLeaf 

     

    The Entitlement Balance Summary and Detail reports are only able to run for the last and current payroll years. 

    If you are needing to run those particular reports prior to last payroll year you would need to restore a backup prior to closing that payroll year to produce those reports. You can restore a backup via File>>Backup and navigate to the required backup before selecting to restore it. For more information on restoring a backup please see Help Article: Restore your company file.

     

    Alternatively, you can open AccountRight in the browser and run the Leave balance report (or Leave balance (detail) report) and go back as far as you like. This is probably an easier option than restoring a back up.

Hi Yanike,

 

Thank you for your help...I noticed that the box is NOT ticked in the Sick leave Accrual entitlement.

 

I am unable to delete that current Sick Leave Accrual entitlement so have created a new one with the name "Sick leave accrual - NEW" and ticked the box. Now I need to work on transferring the balances...do I need to work out how much accrued leave hasnt transferred over the period that the employee has been with us? One in particular has been with us for about 4 years.

 

Will the other Sick Leave Accrual entitlementment continue to calculate the accrued sicke leave and appear on the employee's payslip? Should I untick the box to appear on the payslip and change the calculation to manual calculate each pay period?

Hi AmberLeaf 

 

This help article will guide you through the steps of transferring that balance: Adjusting leave entitlements. Make sure to link the new one to the correct employees and unlink the old entitlement category.

    Hi Yanike,

    Thanks again for your help, I have managed to sort out the sick leave acrrued that has not carried over from the 2022 year.

    I have found out that one of my employees accrued sick leave has never carried over. He has been employed with the business since 2015.

    How do I get an Entitlement Balance (Detail) report from MYOB for those previous years? I am only able to get the report for the current and 2022 years in my MYOB file. It does not allow me to select dates from the previous years.
