When checking leave balances take into account the following:
- the opening balance that was entered for the employee
- the amount of leave accruing each period is based on the annual leave entitlement set up under the 'Works' tab in the employee's master record divided by the number of standard, non-bonus, periods in the year.
- consider whether leave has accrued, or not, in the current period. Leave accrues when the Calculation Routine is run for the first time in an open period.
- the number of leave days taken for that leave type over the range of periods being examined. There are a number of leave reports to help in this process especially the leave Detail report, but there are also other reports listed under this link that may also be useful.
- any adjustments that have been made to that balance.
Global Leave Entitlement
If there is a standard leave entitlement this may have come from a global Leave Entitlement parameter that ensures that new employees are automatically set to receive this amount of leave when their details are captured.
To setup the default global Leave Entitlement:
- Go to the 'Setup', then 'Global Defaults' menu options
- Click the 'Leave' tab
- Check/ change the default 'Leave Entitlement'.
For more information on how to setup the global leave entitlement see the 'Leave' heading under this link.
