Step 1: Click your company name in the top-left corner.
Step 2: Select 'Settings'.
Step 3: Choose 'Leave'.
Step 4: Enable 'Allow Long Service Leave'.
Step 5: Select the correct leave rate.
The amount of long service leave varies across states in Australia. Select the state you live in so your long service leave is accrued correctly.
Step 6: Enable 'Long service leave balance' to display it on the payslip.
Please note that long service leave will accrue for full-time, part-time, and casual employees. If you'd like to continue accruing leave without showing the balance on the payslip, simply untick the 'Long service leave balance' option.
Step 7: Click ‘Save changes’ to finish.
Next, add the existing long service leave balance under Opening Balances.
Step 1: Go to 'People'.
Step 2: Select the relevant employee.
Step 3: Click the pen icon.
Step 4: Go to 'Opening Balances'.
Step 5: Enter the Long Service Leave balance.

Step 2: Choose the payment date and click 'Let's Start!'.

Step 4: Click 'Long Service Leave'.
Step 5: Enter the hours taken for long service leave.
Please note that when you are adding long service leave amounts, do not deduct these hours from the ordinary hours as this will affect the amount of pay calculated. Instead indicate how many hours of the ordinary hours are considered leave in the leave section.
