If you're paying an employee leave in advance, there's an option to do so when processing their pay.

There may be different rules for taking leave in advance based on your employees' award or workplace agreement. To check the rules, visit the Fair Work website.

    The fields in the Leave In Advance window refer to weeks, fortnights or whatever frequency you chose on the Pay Period window, or the interval set in the Payroll Details tab of the employee's card.

    In the steps below, replace [...] with whatever pay frequency is shown for you (weeks, fortnights, twice monthly, or monthly).

    If your employee is only taking three days of leave, click on the blue arrow next to Weeks leave in this pay-run and enter enter 0.6 weeks in the Leave In Advance window.
