Occasionally an employee may wish to cash out their unused annual leave instead of taking leave. This can be done when processing your regular payrun.
- Pay the employee, then click Cash Out Leave.
- Enter the Amount of Hours the employee wishes to cash out.
- Click Save.
Certain rules apply when cashing out annual leave:
- an employee needs to have at least 4 weeks annual leave left over
- a written agreement needs to be made each time annual leave is cashed out
- an employer can't force or pressure an employee to cash out annual leave
- the payment for cashed out annual leave has to be the same as what the employee would have been paid if they took the leave.
