Unpaid Leave

Unpaid leave reduces an employee's pay for time they took off without pay.

When to use it

Use it when an employee is away and that time should not be paid — for example, leave taken after their paid leave has run out.

How to add it

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

The system reduces the employee's pay for that period accordingly.

tip

If you use the Leave section, leave types marked as unpaid are carried into payroll automatically — see Setting Up Leave. Use this page mainly for manual adjustments.

note

Because unpaid leave lowers the employee's pay, it can also lower the EPF, SOCSO, EIS and tax for that month, since those are based on actual pay.
