What do i do for a Fixed Salaried employee who wants to Cash part of their Leave?

For Fixed-Monthly-Salary earners who have the PAY CLASS set as FIXED, NO KWACHA VALUE will appear as actual leave pay taken in the GROSS wage. In this case just the accumulated leave days will reduce by the amount of DAYS taken. Only if an employee is on a daily pay rate, then a KWACHA LEAVE value will appear as an extra in the GROSS pay. This is because Fixed-Monthly-Salary employees do not usually cash their leave. Should you wish to pay a Kwacha value for leave on top of a Fixed salary and you do not have employees who want to both cash leave and at the same time also take some of their leave, then please make sure that the PAY CLASS is NOT marked as FIXED on edit-employee. (In this case, make sure that the PAY CLASS is marked as DAILY under edit-employee). However if you want to keep the employee Class as a Fixed-Salary type and would like to have an employee being able to take part of their leave as Cash or "Commuted" and the other part of their leave to be actual leave days, then you may do the following. Go to Settings and then "Edit Company Extras". Click on the Add extra icon to add a new custom-extra and call it "LeaveCash" for example. Make your custom-extra of the type "Straight from user input" and make sure the extra is an "Addition". Then for the actual "Cashed" or "Commuted" portion of the leave taken you may use this "LeaveCash" field to enter the Kwacha value for the leave (normally Fixed Salary divide by 26 and then times by the Days the employee wants to cash ) Note: Please still enter the Total leave days taken (for both the amount of days the employee goes on physical leave as well as the amount of days the employee wants to cash) in the Leave-Days-Taken field so that the leave record is properly kept.
