Payroll AU: Leave balances report using actual hourly rate
Leave entitlement balances report options are required. Currently the leave entitlement balances report shows the employee entitlement amount as an average of the last pay which can included overtime.
There must be an option to generate this report based on the employee's actual hourly rate. Annual Leave is paid at the actual hourly rate and not an average, and the current report overstates the Employee Entitlements.
Hi Rachel, thanks for raising this. To clarify how the AU Leave Balances report works, the dollar amount is calculated by multiplying the employee’s leave balance in hours by in their Pay Template.
It isn’t calculated from an average of the employee’s most recent pay and doesn’t use overtime as part of the rate.
The report shows balances from posted pay runs, and unprocessed leave requests aren’t included. You can read more about the report in Leave Balances report – Xero Central.
