Applying Leave Loading (AU)

Leave loading is a payment you make to an employee on top of what you pay them for annual leave. To pay leave loading in MYOB Acumatica — Payroll, there are three procedures you need to complete.

  1. For an entitled employee, enable leave loading in their pay details.

  2. Create a leave loading pay item.

  3. Apply the leave loading pay item to a leave taken entitlement pay item.

Note: If you follow these procedures while a pay run is open, leave loading won't be applied to the open pay run. Leave loading will only apply to future pay runs.
