Organisations receive regular leave requests from employees for various reasons, from appointments to overseas trips. Managing these requests helps in resource planning, allowing you to identify staffing needs and availability.

The Leave Liabilities reporting feature provides reports on current and historical approved leave requests, including details like leave value, total hours, and loading value. You can export this data as an Excel file or a printable PDF.

Note

Only Tracked Leave categories will show in the leave liability report.

  3. Select from the following fields:
    • As at date or pay run

    • Pay schedule
    • Group by - leave accrual location or employee default location
    • Include approved leave (optional).
  4. Click the Run Report button.

    Warning

    Currently, when the "as at date" is changed to a date in the past, the report will still show the current leave liability. Leave liability reports are primarily used for monitoring current leave liabilities and forecasting future ones. To track leave liabilities over time, you can run a current report, export it, and file it for future reference.

Reconciling leave liability

To assist with reconciling leave liability movements, the following gives you a guide to undertake the process: Set up the provision for leave liabilities in my payroll journal.

The following reports are required :

  1. A leave liability report for the prior period before the one being investigated
    • Select the leave type you are investigating.
    • This will give you the opening balances for the period being investigated.
  2. A leave liability report for the period you are investigating
    • Select the leave type you are investigating.
    • This will give you the closing balances for the period being investigated.
  3. A journal report where the difference is, i.e., for the pay period
    • There will possibly be 3 journal entries:
      1. Leave Accrued.
      2. Leave Taken.
      3. Leave Adjustments.
  4. A pay run audit report
    • This will give you Leave Taken, Leave Adjustments and Leave Accrued for the period being investigated.
    • Ensure the following are selected in both Summary details and Employee details columns:
      • Leave accrued.
      • Leave taken.
  5. An employee details audit report
    • Identifies any employees who have had a pay rate increase in the period

These steps will help you identify any issues.
