How do I manage employee leave?¶

Leave in myaccountant has three parts, each with its own guide:

Set leave up on the employee¶

Leave is configured per employee, on the Leave tab of their profile (Payroll → Employees → open the employee → Leave). There you turn leave on, choose the accrual method, set yearly entitlements and opening balances, control how leave carries forward each year, and turn on leave loading.

Pay leave on a pay run¶

You pay leave by adding an Annual Leave or Personal Leave pay item to the employee on a Draft pay run and entering the hours. If leave loading is on, the loading line is added automatically.

Check balances¶

Balances are recorded when a pay run is finalised (drafts don't change balances). Check them on the employee's Leave tab (balance cards + the Leave Transactions history), in Reports → Leave Balances, or — for the employee themselves — in the employee portal.
