Paid Leave

Paid leave records leave that the employee is paid for during the period. It makes sure the employee's pay is correct when they take leave that should not reduce their salary.

When to use it​

Use it when you need to record paid leave directly against payroll — for example, where paid leave needs to be shown as its own line.

How to add it​

  1. In the menu, go to Payroll → Payroll Items → Paid Leave.
  2. Choose the employee.
  3. Enter the days or amount of paid leave.
  4. Set the period.
  5. Click Save.
tip

If you use the Leave section, approved paid leave is already tracked there and is carried into payroll — see Leave Overview. Use this page mainly for manual adjustments.

note

The opposite of this is Unpaid Leave, which reduces an employee's pay.
