How to adjust an employees leave or entitlement balance?

Employees leave can be adjusted through the Opening Balances fields on an Employee Profile.

Calculate how many extra leave hours the employee has accrued, for example:
Adding 24 hours of Annual Leave

Navigate to Menu > Settings > Employees > click the Edit button for the effect employee

In the Employee Profile go to the Opening Balances area:

  • Adjust Year of Pre-Accumulated Data to current fiscal year. Ensure any historical values for other balances are removed or they will get re added to the current year
  • Adjust Pre Annual Leave to the value. i.e. "24"

A negative adjustment can also be entered, for example: i.e. "-36"

Then Navigate to a recent unlocked payslip for the adjusted employee.

Click Recalc Leave button located on the top of the employee's payslip.

This will now update the employee's balance with the adjusted leave.
