Fill in the **number of hours of leave** taken for the days in question. > 4. Adjust the **'Standard Pay' row entry/ies** for the corresponding days. > 1. If a full day of annual leave is taken, the standard pay row for that day should be blank, see Friday in this example timesheet. > 2.

The **timesheet boxes will be green** when the timesheet has been saved, as in the example. > 6. Check the '**Gross balance**' for the pay period to ensure that this is correct. > 7.

You can click in each box to view that entry's calculations and effect on leave balances. --- That is it! You have now successfully loaded annual leave on your employee's timesheet.
