We have two Directors, both salaried. The current payroll category of Salary does not have annual leave enabled & is fixed. How to change this, so leave is accrued ?

4. Locate Salary.
5. Untick box for Show in pay run.

In Payroll Categories we have Salary.

Accrue annual leave is greyed out, it cannot be selected.

How do I change this so annual leave can be accrued for the "Salary" payroll category ?
