Where it says 'number of days worked' and 'normal hours per week' can I leave these fields blank if they are salaried employees? The hours and days will vary and since they are on salary it shouldn't matter, right?

No this is not the case. The short answer to this question is that the purpose of these fields you have mentioned is to help the payroll system to calculate the correct entitlement for annual leave each year.

For example if the employee normally works 37.5 hours per week, and they are entitled to 4 weeks annual leave p/a, then 4 x 37.5 = 150 hours per year in annual leave.  

If they normally work 40 hours per week then the annual leave is 160 hours p/a.  

For salaried staff the easiest way is to go by the hours of work outlined in their employment contract
