title	Annual Leave or Holiday Pay - what's the difference?

Here's a brief overview - see the Department of Labour website for more information.

Holiday Pay

8% of gross earnings since the employee's anniversary date.

It rolls into Annual Leave once they reach the first/next anniversary and then it starts again at zero accumulating for the next year. Holiday pay is only ever paid out on two occasions:

The employee's final pay, or
Casual employees who receive it in their weekly pay (which must be clearly stated in the employee's contract)

Annual Leave

An entitlement that all employees are entitled to which equates to at least four weeks' paid holidays per year.

Employees receive their annual holiday entitlements on their first and subsequent anniversaries after starting work. Learn how MYOB Payroll calculates the annual leave rate.

title	Paying out Annual Leave

This should be done even if an employee has not yet become entitled to Annual Leave. Here's how to record annual leave:

From the pay entry screen click into the Quantity field for the Annual Leave (ANHL) pay code.
Enter in the required number of hours (or days if employee is set to days). Here's an example:

Complete and finalise the pay as normal. The leave taken will then be deducted from the employee's balance.

The payroll will then record this as annual leave taken in advance, in other words a negative value, as shown below.

title	Paying holiday pay

The Holiday Pay (HP) code is only used to record the accruing balance of Holiday Pay.

Holiday Pay should only be paid out in the following situations:

To a casual employee. This may be paid out 'as they go', but this would need to be clearly stated in the employee's Individual Employment Agreement.
When a 'final pay' is prepared. The software will calculate any Holiday Pay and Annual Leave owing to an employee when a 'final pay' is prepared.

title	What should I enter into the Holiday Pay % field

From 1 April 2007 all employees became entitled to 4 weeks Annual Leave and the percentage required for Holiday Pay accrual rose to 8%.

To ensure an employees' holiday pay accrues correctly, this percentage should appear in the Holiday Pay % field in the employees' Leave Details tab as shown below.

Note: If the employees are given an additional weeks leave, in other words 5 weeks, the percentage entered would need to be 10%.
