Is it possible to pause an employee’s leave accrual?

This applies to all PaySpace editions
No, leave accrual cannot be paused for an individual employee without affecting all employees linked to the leave scheme.
Leave accrual is set at the company level, and modifying the accrual to zero would impact all employees in the scheme. Leave accrual is also tied to the generation of a main run payslip—if no payslip is generated, leave will not accrue.
Navigate > Config > Human Resources ? Leave Administration > Leave Scheme Parameters
To prevent accrual, the Pay Package Automatically indicator must be disabled on the employee’s Pay Rate Details screen. This stops the automatic calculation of a payslip at the start of a pay run. However, as soon as a payslip is generated, leave accrual resumes.
Navigate > Employee > Payroll Processing > Pay Rate Details
Pausing leave accrual for a single employee would require changes to the leave scheme configuration, which would impact all employees linked to it.
