How do I include unpaid leave from the previous month in payroll?

Unpaid leave is usually calculated within the same month it occurs. However, if payroll was already approved before the unpaid leave was recorded, it will not automatically carry over to the following month. In such cases, you'll need to adjust it manually in the next payroll.

Depending on your payroll scenario, here's what to do:

If no unpaid leave has been synced in the current month

Enter the total hours of unpaid leave under the existing No-Pay Leave pay item.

⚠️ Note: The hourly rate may differ from last month’s rate, so double-check before finalising.

If unpaid leave for the current month has already been synced into payroll

Create an additional pay item to capture the previous month’s unpaid leave.

1. Follow this guide to create a new pay item. For clarity, you can name it No-Pay Leave (Previous Month).

2. Add the new pay item in the payroll and enter the details of the unpaid leave from the previous month.
