AU Payroll - Code leave to account other than Salary and Wages

It would be great if we could code annual leave to another account code other than salary and wages. Currently we manually journal these costs to another account in the ledger to separate them. This helps with reporting wages like for like.
Thanks :-)

    I agree, the payroll system accrues the Super so it would be great to similarly accrue the leave automatically and redue the leave accrual when it is paid

    no accural report as well so don't know $ paid $ accural. if super has this function why can't leave ? so pain and not clear position $ monthly.

    This is so painful to process this journal every month. There has to be a better way. Please can you update xero as a priority so we can choose where this leave is allocated to.

    Yes, having Leave coded to an accrual account is standard in most payroll systems, would be much appreciated if it could be added to the product.

    Agree, painful to manually journal the split every pay run.

  • Heidi Borowitz commented  ·   ·  Report

    We would like to set the account annual leave expense is posted to instead of it all going to salary and wages. Also, set the account for leave provisions.

    Great idea Michelle. We've just run into the same issue and having to do a journal every pay period for something that you know is going to be incorrect but can't amend prior to posting is painful.

    It is important as it saves a weekly journal from being completed.
