Question

How do my organisation's leave categories sync between Payroll Classic and Employment Hero?

Answer

Your organisation's leave categories will automatically sync from the payroll classic platform to Employment Hero. These leave categories allow your employees to submit time off against a pre-defined criteria.

Previously, you were required to sync these using the "Update from Payroll manually" button, however, this was causing a common error, so we have now made this process automatic whenever leave categories are added or updated. This ensures that Employment Hero always has the latest payroll data, keeping employee records accurate and up to date.

If you use Xero for your Payroll, you will need to update leave categories manually. See this article for more information.

Further information

Why does the leave category show as disabled?

Employment Hero will show a leave category as disabled if the data no longer exists on your payroll classic platform. You can not delete disabled pay categories if you have used them previously in Employment Hero. This is for platform data accountability and to make sure that when you use the Audit Trail feature, we display the correct history of changes that occurred in Employment Hero.

How can I create or edit leave categories?

You can create, edit, and manage leave categories in your payroll classic platform.
