Answer
Mode provides a leave-taken list that is tailored for payroll rather than the AU leave menu.
Leave types you may see
- Annual Holidays
- Sick
- Alternative Holiday
- Bereavement
- Family Violence
- Public Holiday
- Unpaid
- Long Service, where relevant in your setup
Why this matters
Different leave types can use different units, balances, and valuation rules. For example, annual holidays, sick leave, and Alternative Holidays are part of the balance model, while other leave types are mainly about recording the correct payment and leave classification in the pay.
If you are unsure which leave type to choose, start with the legal or payroll reason for the leave first, then select the matching leave type in Lightning Payroll.
