Organisations may have requirements where employees should have visibility on certain leave categories, whereas other categories they may need this visibility disabled. If this is the case for your organisation, then the payroll platform allows you to configure what balances an employee will see in both their pay slips and within the leave feature on the HR platform.
Getting started
There are two steps that an administrator needs to complete when setting employee leave balance visibility. An administrator needs to complete these actions on both the HR and Payroll platforms. The two steps are:
Warning
If you create a new leave category or update an existing one but do not enable it within your Leave Allowance Template, it will not be available to select form on your HR platform.
Important
You will need to repeat the following steps for each leave category that needs its accrued leave visibility changed.
To begin with, you will need to edit your leave categories and select what visibility your employees will have regarding the accrued leave balance. The steps on how to undertake this are:
- Log into your Employment Hero Payroll classic platform.
- Click the Business Settings menu.
- Click the Payroll Settings submenu.
- Click the Leave Category button.
- Click the Leave Category that needs a leave balance hidden.
- Choose from the following three options in the Employee Leave Balance section:
- Hide accruals for pay slips.

Helpful Hint
Select this option if you do not wish to allow employees to see the amount of leave accrued for this leave category within a pay run on their pay slip.
- Hide balance from pay slips and in the leave feature.
Helpful Hint
Select this option if you do not wish to allow employees to see the balance of this leave category on their pay slips or in the leave feature within the HR platform.
- Hide leave category name from the employee view.
Helpful Hint
Selecting this option will remove the display of the leave category from the employees' calendar view. The employee will only see which employee is on leave, but not the leave type they are taking.
- Click the Save button.
Warning
Inactive leave categories are still visible to administrators within the HR platform.
Leave Categories are totally managed through your payroll platform. Updates from payroll are now automated. However, Although the leave category now automatically syncs from Employment Hero Payroll to Employment Hero, you can attempt a manual sync of pay items by going to General > Settings > Add on > Action > Update > Pay item > Update From Payroll.
- Log into your Employment Hero platform.
- Click the Settings menu.
- Click the Leave Categories submenu.
- Click the Update From Payroll button.
Helpful Hint
The Leave Categories page will now show a grey Updated button and this means the HR platform has successfully imported your leave categories from the payroll platform.
