    Hi Debbie-KEAD

     

    Thanks for the update. We're glad to hear you're able to look at the cause of the problem. You may need to adjust for those employees who used the Annual Leave Pay Wage Item.

Hi Debbie-KEAD

 

Thanks for your post.

 

You can check where the leave item was linked. Usually, the entitlement of wage items is incorrectly linked.

 

The Help Article Payroll categories will provide you with more information and instructions to assist you with this.

 


Please don't hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.

    I have looked at the payroll category for Annual Leave accrual.  I think this might be the cause of the problem.

     

    The linked wages account was changed to Unused Annual Leave to handle a termination and not set back to Annual Leave Pay.

     

    To correct this, can I amend the Leave Entitlement category to show the correct linked wages account (Annual Leave Pay).

    Do I need to adjust anything to correct transactions which may have been incorrectly handled?

     

    Thanks

    Debbie

        The problem was caused as you advised.  I did however have to do quite a bit of reconciliation to ensure all Annual Leave Paid was in fact reported in the Entitlement Report.  It appeared that transactions processed when the linked wages category was incorrect (after it was changed) were not reported in the Accrual Report.  I identified these transactions in the Payroll category report and so could reconcile the Accrual Figures and make the necessary adjustments.  I believe the problem in now resolved.
