Time in lieu is a type of leave that isn't specifically covered by the Holidays Act 2003. Prior to the Holidays Act 2003, days accrued for working on a public holiday were known as "day in lieu" or "lieu time". But since the implementation of the Holidays Act 2003, they're now known as Alternative Leave.

When an employee works extra hours, they can either be paid overtime or they can take the equivalent time off at a later date. This often depends on company policy. In a company, this is sometimes done informally, and at other times it's managed quite formally.

To set up time in lieu in MYOB Advanced People, you need to do two things:

First, create an entitlement for time in lieu.
Then, create three pay items: TOIL Accrual, TOIL Taken and TOIL Calculation.

To create an entitlement for time in lieu

To learn more about how entitlements work in MYOB Advanced People, check out our support article on creating an entitlement.

Go to the Entitlements screen (MPPP3300).
On the toolbar, click the Add New Record plus icon ().
In the Entitlement ID field, enter TOIL.
In the Description field, enter Time off in Lieu.
Click the Rules tab.
In the Definition section:
1. From the Trigger Date dropdown, select Employee Start Date.
2. Select the Units option.
3. From the Units dropdown, select Hours.
4. From the At Period End dropdown, select C/Fwd Balance.
5. In the Full Time Hours Per Year field, enter 2080.
In the Changes section:
1. Click the Add Row plus icon ().
2. In the Period Duration field, enter 12.
3. In the Entitlement Unit field, enter 2080.
In the Properties section:
1. Select the Leave option.
2. Select the Entitlement may be paid/taken in advance option.
On the toolbar, click the Save icon ().

Completing information on the Accrued from tab is part of the next procedure.

To create three pay items for time in lieu

The next step is to setup 3 different pay items:
- TOIL Accrual - Needs to be Accrued Pro Rata
- TOIL Taken
- TOIL Calculation - this pay item will ensure that this is not paid in the pay that TOIL is accrued and that it doesn't show on the payslip.
Update the "Accrued from" field in the TOIL entitlement and set it to accrue from TOIL Calculation.

Update the Pay item liabilities as required.
Add all 3 items to the employee's standard pay details.
Enter the Hours of Time in Lieu the employee has accumulated in the Quantity column against the TOIL Calculation pay item in the Current Pay.
The balance is shown in the Entitlement Balances report and can be paid at a later date using the TOIL Taken pay item in the current pay.
