Leave type has not been assigned to an employee | Xero Error

Error

Type. Feature. Error Description.
Sync error. Leave. A validation exception occurred, unable to create leave request. This leave type has to be assigned to this employee to create and process a leave request.

Explanation

This error occurs when an employee within your Xero platform does not have an assigned leave type. When the Employment Hero platform encounters this issue, it will not synchronise leave requests for the affected employees over to your Xero platform.

Solution

You will need to add a leave type to the affected employee files on your Xero platform and then re-sync your Employment Hero and Xero platforms to resolve this issue.

Resolve this error
  1. Log in to your Xero platform.
  2. Click the Payroll menu.
  3. Click the Employees submenu.
