For Payroll for Australia:

Earning	Recalculated Results	Prior Results	Retro Differences
Annual Leave Pay	7.6 hours of annual leave x 30/hour = 228	0 for month of March	228 - 0 = 228
Ordinary Pay	(164.67 - 7.6) x 30 = 4712.1	4940.1	4712.1 - 4940.1 = -228

For Payroll for Canada and the U.S.:

Earning	Recalculated Results	Prior Results	Retro Differences
Vacation Pay	8 hours of PTO x 20/hour = 160	0 for month of March	160 - 0 = 160
