Enable leave to be accrued on "rate per unit" ordinary earning types.
Please enable leave to be accrued on "rate per unit" ordinary earning types.
Currently, for an employee with multiple roles and separate ordinary pay rates/items, we are required to manually calculate the correct leave entitlements each pay period. Otherwise we can use the multiple of employee's ordinary earnings rate, and enter a percentage, which is really clunky.
Xero does not calculate the correct leave accrual amounts on any ordinary pay items other than the first.

We just found out about it when we did check some leave calculation manually.
It is frustrating, we moved to xero from 2021 and one category didn't count the leave accruals since then.
Now have to do manual leave calculation from 2021, there is no other note or warning there to notify too. -

I had a light bulb moment regarding this issue. I have a client that I initially provided with a pre-populated spreadsheet so they could enter the total hours eligible for leave accrual calculations so they could manually enter the hours accrued each pay run (weekly). So frustrating for them!
I thought I could add a new Pay Item to use for the Ordinary earning rate for calculation of leave accruals. I have tested and it works! A few steps to it, but super easy to set up and no more manual calculations necessary - I have written step-by-step instructions for this work around and attached to this comment. Please share any feedback if you see any issues with it :)
