Setting Up Leave – Example 3

To have the leave accrue proportionately, so the employee only gets leave accrued based on the number of hours worked, you would:

Enter 1 into the Every column.

Select Normal Hrs in the Period column.

Enter the amount of leave they should accrue every hour Using example 1, if they were entitled to 160 hours a year you would enter 0.0769. This was calculated by dividing 160 by the number of weeks in a year and then dividing again by the number of hours in a week ((160/52)/40)=0.0769.

If the employee only works 20 hours in a week they will only accrue 1.5385 (20 X .0769) hours of leave, half of their entitlement.

If you have started using Elite Payroll part way through the year you need to enter how much leave the employee has accrued for this leave type.
