Leave Accrual continuing whilst on leave (??!!) Help please!

I have a staff member who is on extended personal leave due to a personal injury recovery (not work related). They have been on personal leave since January, which means they have not been to work at all since then and is continuing until the end of April.

 

My question is:

 

how come the leave continues to accrue even if they are not coming to work  - is this normal?

Hi canbelto,

Thanks for posting in the Community! You can click on the date link as shown on the screenshot you've provided, then you'll be routed to the pay run of the employee. From there, you'll see the name of the leave category where it accrues for that pay period. If it is a Personal/Carer's Leave category, by default, it is set to accrue on an ongoing basis. Here's how to check: 
 

  1. Go to Employees tab and select Leave Categories.
  2. Select Personal Carer's Leave.
     

On the other hand, Personal Carer's Leave (10 days) by default has 10 days entitlement, and is calculated based on an employee's hours of work.
