Leave

The leave code for leave allocated to the current and new award.

Current Balance

The unused leave entitlement that has accrued under the current award.

Units

The unit the Current Balance is measured in.

Conversion Factor

The factor used to convert the Current Balance to the units of the New Balance.

For example, if an employee's new award calculates their leave in hours instead of days, the conversion factor will be the number of hours they worked per day under the current award.

Note: If the New Balance is displayed in blue, the new award allows leave entitlements to accrue. You can correct rounding errors by selecting the New Balance field and typing the correct amount of leave. If the New Balance is displayed in black, the new award does not include leave entitlements. The leave balance is not editable if the new award does not accrue leave.
