Associating Leave Type Codes with Leave Pay Types

The New Zealand Holiday Act requires that different types of employee leave are calculated using different methods. For example, annual holiday leave must be paid at the greater of the employee's ordinary weekly rate by hour or their average weekly rate by hour. All other types of leave are calculated using relevant daily rates by hour.

To accurately calculate employee leave pay rates, the system must be able to identify the different types of employee leave. To associate a leave type with a pay type, enter the pay type into UDC table 75/LT. The system uses the information in the Description 02 column of the UDC table to determine which type of leave the employee is taking, and performs the appropriate calculation.
