When transferring from another payroll system, Xero has not accounted for the user case of an employee starting with a negative entitlement.
A lot of businesses allow employees to use annual leave as it's accrued and do not always enforce the 12 month stand-down as per legislation. As a user who has just entered 12 months of payroll information for a transferred employee, I should not then have to calculate what the balance now is.
As per other requests, there should be three fields which you should be able to enter when setting up an employee which is their current balances of accrued, entitled and total balance. A negative should never be required.
The way it is set out is not intuitive at all or self-explanatory.
There are a lot of user requests on improving the payroll functionality, especially around leave balances and values for budgeting purposes.
