Deduct employee hours when applying leave

You can reduce the amount an employee is paid when applying leave. This is particularly useful when applying leave without pay. You can reduce the amount of hours an employee is paid by following these simple steps:

1. On the main menu, click Business.
2. On the submenu, click Settings.
3. Under Pay Run Settings click Leave Categories.
4. Create a new leave category or select an existing leave category, and under the Payment Setup option select the Don't pay for the leave taken checkbox.
5. Click the Save button.
   
   

   
   

6. Now when a leave application is applied to a pay run using this leave category, it will reduce the number of hours for the employee by the amount of leave that has been applied.

Note: This is relevant for non-timesheet employees only, as it is expected that employees using timesheets would not have hours initially entered for leave without pay in the first place.
