Answer
Leave setup in Lightning Payroll is different from the AU leave screen. The employee leave settings focus on annual holidays, sick leave, work pattern, and standard hours instead of Australian leave loading and long service leave options.
Where to set this up
Open the employee, then go to Leave and review the leave settings there.
Main settings to review
- Annual holidays per year: normally 4 weeks for employees.
- Standard hours per week and hours per day: these help Lightning Payroll convert leave between weeks, days, and hours.
- Work pattern / working days: use this to reflect the employee's ordinary working pattern.
- Sick leave settings: review the qualifying period and any carryover cap.
Important behaviour
Lightning Payroll uses the leave model and hides Australian-only controls such as leave loading, super on leave loading, and long service leave settings. That means it is important to enter the work pattern and standard hours accurately, because those values influence how leave balances and leave taken are displayed and valued.
