    Hey Lisa - thanks again for that suggestion and following up for me.

     

    I took another look at the way the AnnLeave Loading category and the Ann Leave is set up.  Both of the categories have the option of clicking to adjust the base hourly.  I had thought that clicking either one of them would just adjust the base hourly - which it does, and which is what you want to happen, and it shouldn't matter which one as when I'm paying Ann leave, I am also paying (in my case) Ann leave loading, so in that way it shouldn't matter which one I click to reduce the base hourly.  
    However, it looks like when clicking the button on the AnnLeaveLoading category - it reduces the hours on the base hourly(correctly), calculates the leave loading (correctly), but does something weird in the calculation of the base hourly reduced hours - which is not correct.
    I have followed your suggestion (cheers!) - removed the click from the AnnLeaveLoading and applied to the AnnLeave category and yes! It did work correctly.  So thanks for that, but I still think that if the option to click the button on AnLeaveLoading is there, then it should calculate correctly- or remove the option.

I am talking about the annual leave loading item not the annual leave item

 

I found that I had to set up separate items for both to get around this problem

 

This sorted my issue
