AU Payroll - Ability to remove leave types incorrectly assigned
Need to be able to remove a leave type for employees. Ie an employee is entitled to 4 weeks annual leave p.a.. They have renegotiated their contract and are now entitled to 5 weeks AL p.a. I've set up a new leave type to accrue 5 weeks p.a. for this employee and asked that they use this option when submitting future requests. I have changed the AL 4 week code to No Calculation for this employee, however it still appears as an option when they request leave. I would like to remove this as an option because they continually inadvertently select this type which puts it into negative.

Thanks team, we understand how beneficial it’d be to archive or remove unused leave types from employee records to keep things tidy.
It’s something we're exploring as part of our payroll modernisation work, however it hasn't been planned just yet.
We'll keep monitoring your input here and update the thread if this moves into active development. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts on this.

This is critical. If you end up working for a company (like I have) that has had various accounting/bookkeppig companies and/or previous HR/admin staff doing payroll, employee leave types become a total mess with no option to tidy it up, back to only the required leave types. This is super frustrating, and should be a basic feature.

Thanks Xero Admin - but even if you zero out and zero out accrual it still is on employees card file and is able to be selected when you enter leave. This is why I suggested it be removed or archived at least so that it cannot be selected incorrectly as then causes more issues. It would be great if you rethink this option

Ive got clients who have different types of leave accruals, so for example some employees have to be paid leave loading others already have it inbuilt into their wages. Therefore we have to setup 2 types of annual leave categories. I have an employee who has moved from one category to another it would be really great if we could archive the leave accrual that is no longer used. The reason for this is that both categories appear when entering a leave request and it is very easy to select the wrong category, especially when you have a number of employees in a payrun to process. Would it be possible to be able to either archive or delete the unused category within the employee card file.

unprofessional is an understatement, it lends itself to confusion especialy for the uneducated in an already complex and highly legislated HR area. this is basic housekeeping.

I am having the same issue. It was a mess and there are 2 types of leave and both were accruing which i didnt know about till I had a look for another reason.
I would like to be able to delete one of the leave types as i dont want them to keep seeing 0.000 against one agree with Julie it looks unprofessional.
Thank you :) -

Please make this an option. It looks unprofessional having a payslip with zero leave entitlements owing over and over again. If they no longer accrue leave entitlements, then we should have the option to remove it from their payslips.
