Employee Leave entries

Annual Leave or holiday pay allows an employee to be paid while having time off from work. All employees (except for casual employees) get paid annual leave.
All permanent and part-time employees are allocated so many weeks of annual leave (normally 4, but not necessarily), based on their ordinary hours of work.
Annual leave accrues progressively and therefore an employee does not have to qualify for a minimum length of service before being able to request to take annual leave (but dependent on contracts signed).

Sick leave (or personal/carers leave) provides an entitlement should the employee suffer a personal injury or illness or need to provide care support for an immediate family member.
All employees except casuals are entitled to paid sick and carer's leave.
A full-time employee will accrue 10 days per year, dependent on contacts signed.
Part-time employees receive 10 days on their normal hours of work.
An employee will continue to accrue personal/carers (sick) leave indefinitely and it does not expire, unless employment is terminated.
Unused personal/Careres (sick) leave is not paid out on termination of employment.

Long Service Leave becomes an entitlement to an employee once they have completed a certain number of years of service.
When employment ends before an employee has worked the total number of years needed to get the full long service leave entitlement, they can sometimes get paid out part of their long service leave, pro-rata (entitlements are covered by the state or territory law in which the employee is employed).

To Enter Leave Records in Cashbook

Step 1: Payroll

Click on the Payroll toolbar icon
Select an employee by clicking on the employee (the record will be highlighted in blue)
Click on the Select Employee button
Click on the Leave Records tab
Select Leave Type, (ie. Annual, Sick, Long Service or Special)
Date Commenced will already be entered, (See Employee Details)
Annual Entitlement (the number of days will depend on what Leave Type, for eg. Annual Leave - 20 days, Sick Leave - 10 days)
Leave Measure in eg. Hours, Days, Weeks.
Note: Once you choose the leave measure, eg Days, if you later change this to another measure eg. weeks, Cashbook will not automatically re-calculate each of your leave entries. You will have to manually recalculate these yourself.

Step 2: Anniversary Date

The Anniversary Date is the date the employee commenced employment. On this date each year the employee will receive their annual leave or sick leave entitlement. It is important to add this when leave is due, if it is not added automatically
