    Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback on this idea. We appreciate you sharing how important accurate leave accruals are for managing payroll when employees work at different rates across various days or departments.

    While we aren't able to add this to our roadmap right now, we want to make sure you are aware that it is currently possible to set up leave to accrue on more than one earnings rate.

    As mentioned in this thread, the key is to set the Rate Type for these additional items to "Multiple of Employee's Ordinary Earnings Rate".

    Please refer to our support article Set up overtime or earnings that accrue leave for a guide on how to do this. We'll keep this thread active for future feedback.

    I have discovered a workaround. Enter the Ordinary Hours an employee works into the Ordinary Hours pay item - leave the rate $0.00 so it doesn't affect the Gross pay figure. The pay run can then accrue the correct amount of hours for Annual Leave & Sick Leave etc, based on the hours entered.

    We then use the other Pay Items to setup to pay the correct wages as per their correct hourly rate. It is annoying, but the only work around at this stage.
