When you add an employee to MYOB, you'll set up their leave entitlements. Then when you pay an employee, you can add any leave taken to the pay run.
To pay leave
Go to the Payroll command centre and click Process Payroll.
Choose the employee's you're paying by choosing the pay frequency. If the leave payment isn't part of a typical pay cycle, choose Bonus/Commission.
Confirm the pay dates.
Click Next. All employees set up for the chosen pay cycle will be listed and selected to be paid. If it's an unscheduled pay, all employees are listed. Need to change an employee's pay cycle?
Click to open the pay for the employee who you're paying leave.
Enter the number of hours of leave against the applicable leave payroll category. For example, enter annual leave hours against Annual Leave Pay.
If you've set up the leave payroll category with the option Automatically adjust base hourly or base salary details selected, the employee's Base Salary or Base Hourly amount will be automatically reduced to cater for the leave payment. Otherwise you'll need to adjust this manually to avoid overpayment.
Leave without pay
If entering leave without pay in a pay run, reduce the employee's normal hours by the number of hours of unpaid leave. Otherwise they'll be overpaid.
(Optional) Click the blue zoom arrow next to the annual leave payroll category to enter details of the leave (dates, etc.). Here's our example showing 7.6 hours annual leave added to the pay with details added.
Click the employee again to collapse their pay.
Continue processing the pay as normal. Need a refresher?
Negative leave balances
If an employee takes more leave than they've accrued, their leave balance will become negative. However, they'll still be paid for all the leave entered on the pay run.
