There you'll see some default Leave types that we added for you.

Set up the leave types your business will actually use and delete those that do not apply to your business (to avoid potential confusion in the future).
If you have different types of Leave (for example, Annual Leave is 20 days for most but 30 days for some employees), then create two different leave types
Include the Name of the Leave (for example, Annual Leave or Sick Leave), the units in which it will be measured (days, hours) and the Default Annual Entitlement (for example, for Annual Leave, if the units are Hours, include 160).

To add a Leave Type click on Add a Leave Type

Tip: the units you measure Leave Types need to be the same as those of Ordinary Hours, since those are the units that are taken as valid for entitlements calculations and payments.

If you pay Leave with an extra percentage on Leave Loading, you can add that figure in the Leave Loading box.

Then, you can select if the leave type is Paid Leave (like Annual Leave) or Leave without pay.

If you don't tick the box, when the employee takes leave, the rate that will appear in Earnings will be $0.

Finally, you can click on the Show Balance on Payslip checkbox if you want to let your employees know each paycycle how much leave they have accrued and taken.

Once you are done, click SAVE.
