I can create an a leave request but the trouble starts when I go to pay it. It looks like I have to create an out of sequence pay period for each week or all weeks of annual leave. I cannot find anyting to confirm this or a guide on how to do it. The most thorough method of manually adjusting leave balances for employees in Xero is to post an unscheduled pay run.
Once mapped, your payroll journals will then include the associated cost of any leave liabilities on a per pay run basis. Through the employee portal, staff can submit leave requests online, which managers can approve. Payroll administrators can then review the leave in Xero, before creating and processing the pay run. Employee has been entered in Xero as 10 hours a week . Over time they were allocated 40 hours Annual Leave , and have taken several days Annual Leave with 2 hours representing each 0.2 of a week. So they now have a balance of 2.6 weeks Annual Leave, represented in Xero as 26 hours. You have an employee who works part time flexible hours.
Some weeks they work 30 hours over 4 days, other weeks they work 10 hours over 2 days, some weeks they don’t work. If there are no standard hours, then the recommendation to get Xero Payroll working properly is to use minimum hours as a representation of the weeks. Other payroll software does it differently, but this is the way that works for Xero Payroll. Perhaps it’s written in the employment agreement, perhaps it’s not. Sometimes it’s a case of sitting down together and deciding what a week’s leave will be. As an example, if the employee works part time on Tues/ Wed/ Thur, then perhaps a week’s leave is those three days. Or if they work different days every week, perhaps it’s “any three days”.

It will then look back at what’s been paid as an average from last 4 or 52 weeks, and this will be the amount it will calculate to pay out. You will see it when the Annual Leave amount appears on the Payslip – there is a blue toggle where you choose to pay either the normal hourly rate (say $25) or the Average rate. The Average rate is the correct one in this example. Don’t worry about how many hours or days or any patterns of work the employee has been doing lately. Just record the number of hours of leave taken based on the minimum hours recorded in Xero.
How To Set Up The Provision For Leave Liabilities In Your Payroll Journal
You sign a new employment agreement and the minimum hours are 30 a week. You are representing the Annual Leave due to your employee by Minimum Hours and Xero will raise the Hourly Rate if the employee has worked on average more than the minimum hours. This doesn’t mean your employee will only get paid Annual Leave based on the Minimum Hours. But it does mean you won’t be overpaying Annual Leave, which would happen if you entered in Standard Hours, and the employee ended up averaging less than those Standard Hours. Xero Payroll software has it’s own way of deciding how to record the amount of Annual Leave that an employee is due.
For this example, with the Standard Hours recorded as 15 in Xero, if the employee had actually worked 30 hours a week on average over the past 4 weeks, then their Annual Leave payout rate would double. So instead of being paid 15 hours x say $25 an hour as their normal rate of pay, they would be paid 15 hours x $50 an hour. Paying out correctly is an entirely different issue to the Annual Leave balance and is about the $ rate to pay at the time Annual Leave is taken.
