COVID-19 Pay Element for Leave Accrual

COVID-19 HRS

In order to accrue leave for the time the government subsidy is being paid, you need to create a new pay element to calculate the leave.
Use this every time you use  'COVID-19 FT' and 'COVID-19 PT'.  You only have to set it up once and can use it with both pay elements.
