Cashing out annual leave is where an employee is paid the value of annual leave instead of taking the time off work.

To cash out annual leave in AccountRight, just include the number of hours of annual leave the employee is cashing out on their pay run, in addition to their normal pay. This will decrease their leave balance, and pay them the value of the annual leave.

Here's an example where an employee is cashing out 20 hours of annual leave, during a week they’ve worked 40 hours. So we're paying them for 40 hours at their normal rate, as well as 20 hours of annual leave.
