Suppress Display of Leave Cost on Payslips for Specific Leave Types

Description

Payslip formats can be configured so that the cost of leave accrued by a payee can be printed on the payee's payslip. Now an option has been added so that the display of the leave cost on payslips can be selectively suppressed for specific leave types. To facilitate this, a new field labelled Show Accrual Cost on Payslip has been added to leave type headers in Leave > Maintenance > Leave Type.

The new field is highlighted in the example below.

The Show Accrual Cost on Payslip field is available only if the existing Show On Payslip field is ticked and therefore the leave type is configured to be shown on payslips.

To display the cost of leave on payslips, the Balance - $ field must be used in the Payslip Leave Balance component of the payslip format that is used to generate the payslip (for more information, see Configuring Document Formats). If the Show Accrual Cost on Payslip field is unticked in the leave type header, the Balance - $ field on a payslip displays a value of NA for the leave type , if a cost has been calculated for that leave type. Note that a cost is never calculated, and is therefore never shown on payslips, for leave types to which either of the following conditions apply:

leave types with an apply to type of Days
leave types with an apply to type of Hours and an accrual type of Fixed.

Benefits

This enhancement allows the display of the cost of leave to be selectively suppressed on payslips for some leave types but not others.

Configuration

On upgrading to v11.38 the Show Accrual Cost on Payslip field is ticked by default for all existing leave types that are configured in Leave > Maintenance > Leave Type and have the existing Show On Payslip field ticked. For those leave types that are to be displayed on payslips but must not show the leave cost on the payslip, untick the Show Accrual Cost on Payslip field in the header of the leave type.
