Often it is necessary to increase an employee's Normal Hours part way through the year. If this occurs you may need to make an adjustment to their Annual Leave entitlement.

If you need to change a casual employee to full-time or part-time, see Moving casual employees to full-time or part-time.

If an employee's hours are increased part way through the year, a pro rata MANUAL adjustment will be required at the employee's 'Holiday Anniversary Date' to take into account the period of the year their annual leave entitlement was less.

Example:

  • For six months the employee worked 40 hours per week and would have had an annual leave entitlement of 160 hours/6 months (160/12 x6)=80 hours.
  • They then increased their hours to 45 hours per week and would have an annual leave entitlement of 180 hours/6 months=(180/12 x6)=90 hours.

A manual adjustment will need to be made carried out, deducting 10 hours from the employee's Annual Leave due as at amount after their holiday anniversary has been rolled.

The reason for this adjustment is due to the calculation above showing that the employee is actually due an entitlement totalling 170 hours (80 + 90=170) not the 180 hours which would have been allocated when the anniversary rolled.
