Unpaid leave
Currently there is no option for unpaid sick leave for an employee. It is important to record unpaid leave taken accurately and also display this on the payslip.
When adjusting the hours paid or work to ensure an employee does not go into a negative sick leave balance, it does not show as unpaid leave on the payslip or reporting.
A negative sick leave balance should not be automatic, it should be a prompt and choice as to whether the business wants to risk paying sick leave in advance of entitlement.
Leave without pay and Unpaid sick leave should always be options in any payroll system and need to reduce the amount payable when approved as leave taken

Hey team, thanks for suggesting this one!
Xero comes with some default leave types already created, however if these don't suit your business' needs, you can follow the steps in our 'Add additional leave types and assign them to your employees' article to create some new ones.
You'll have the option to create paid or unpaid leave types, these can then be assigned to employee's with a relevant accrual type.
