ANSWER ID:11253If you've set up an employee using hours instead of days, or days instead of hours, you might find their pay rate is now "greyed out". This is because annual leave (using the Annual Leave Rate) has been processed for that employee. Payroll needs to set the Annual Leave Rate and fix it to either hours or days whichever has been set up for the employee. | UI Expand |

| To convert an employee from days to hours, use the steps below but change days to hours where applicable. |
- Open Payroll with today's date in the Current Pay Ended On field.
- Print an Employee Holidays Report to determine the leave taken and due (go to the Reports menu and choose Employee Reports then choose Employee Holidays then choose the applicable employees).
- Convert the Quantity, Rate and Calculated Amount of the Annual Leave Due as at and the Annual Leave Taken, into Daily amounts (they will be displayed in the report as Hourly Amounts).
- Convert the Hourly Rate to a Daily rate, for example 72 hours @ $10 will calculate out to 9 days @ $80 per day assuming an 8 hour day is worked.
- Go to the Maintenance command centre and click Maintain Pay Codes.
- Click to select the Annual Leave (ANHL) pay code.
- On the General tab, select the option Allow rate to be modified when entering pay details.
- Go to the Prepare Pays command centre and click Enter Pays.
- Enter the quantity and rate of the Annual Leave Taken (as a negative if the initial figure was positive or as a positive if the initial figure was a negative).
- Ensure the overall rate is the same as what was stated on the report, and ensure there are no other allowances, deductions or tax set in the pay.
- Put a 1 in the Direct Credit quantity to offset the pay.
- Finalise the pay.
- Go to the Maintenance command centre and click Maintain Employees.
- Click Select Employee.
- Click to select the applicable employee then click OK.
- Click the Employment Details tab and change the Hours to Days.
- Click the Leave Details tab and change the Normal Hours figure (this will now be set to Days) to the relevant figure 5 if they normally work 5 days.
- Change the leave amounts to reflect the correct amounts as worked out above.
- Click the Pay Defaults/Totals tab and change any defaults to the equivalent number of days instead of the hours, for example ordinary time to 5 from the 40 which was set there.
- Go to the Prepare Pays command centre and click Enter Pays.
- Enter the amount in days in the Annual Leave column, ensuring it is the same amount (hourly rate x hours per day), set the tax to zero, and use the DC paycode to offset the pay.
- Finalise the pay.
