What Vacation Payout Does
Vacation Payout lets a company pay employees for eligible vacation or leave balances instead of keeping those days as leave.
This is used when company policy allows unused vacation to be paid out.
Practical Example
A company allows employees to roll over 5 vacation days. An employee has 8 unused days. The company pays out 3 days and leaves 5 days as the rollover balance.
Basic Steps
- Confirm vacation payout settings.
- Select the employees or period.
- Review eligible balances.
- Create the payout.
- Confirm the payout appears in payroll or payout history.
Common Mistakes
- Paying out more days than policy allows.
- Not checking employee leave balance first.
- Confusing rollover preference with payout amount.
- Forgetting that vacation payout can affect payroll totals.
