Changing an employee's conditions of employment can be simple or complex, depending on your scenario. For example, an employee moving from part time to full time may still be entitled to annual and personal leave. In this case you can update the Employment Status in the employee's card, check their other payroll information, and you're done.

But if an employee's entitlements are changing, for example moving from a permanent to casual position, you'll need to pay out unused leave.

If you're not sure what an employee is entitled to under their new arrangement, the Fair Work website is a good place to start. You might also need some expert advice on the tax implications of paying out unused leave. Speak to an accounting advisor or ask the experts on our community forum for clarification on your best course of action.
