Fixed Salary ZMW Leave does not appear on payslip?

For employees whose Pay Class is set to Fixed, Harvester does not normally add a separate Kwacha leave value to Gross Pay when leave is taken. This is because a fixed monthly employee is normally paid their full monthly salary while they are on annual leave. For normal paid leave, do not reduce the employee's Days worked. Simply enter the number of leave days in the Leave Days Taken field. This will reduce the employee's leave balance but will not add an extra leave value to Gross Pay. If you enter negative Days, Harvester will reduce Basic Pay. This should normally only be used for unpaid leave or unpaid absence. If you want to cash out leave days as an extra payment, then change the employee's Pay Class from Fixed to Daily under Edit Employee. The leave days taken will then be calculated as a Kwacha value and will appear in Gross Pay. After changing the Pay Class, remember to resubmit the payment so the new calculation is applied. Summary Fixed Pay Class: normal paid leave reduces leave balance only. No extra Kwacha leave value is added to Gross Pay. Daily Pay Class: leave days taken can be calculated and paid as a Kwacha value in Gross Pay. Negative Days: use only for unpaid absence or unpaid leave, not for normal paid annual leave. The daily leave value is based on the employee's wage divided by the company default days in a month. The usual default is 26 days, unless changed in Company Settings.
