Answer
The termination wizard pays unused leave entitlements automatically based on the employee's leave balance and work pattern. You can review and adjust the figures before saving the pay.
Annual holidays payout
- Outstanding weeks: any unused annual holiday entitlement still on the balance from previous anniversaries.
- 8% accrual: 8% of gross earnings since the last anniversary, paid out instead of being added to the next year's entitlement.
- Valuation: the cash value uses the higher of Average Weekly Earnings (52-week average) or Ordinary Weekly Pay (last 4 weeks).
Alternative holidays payout
- Any unused alternative holidays are listed and paid out.
- The day value uses Relevant Daily Pay if the work pattern makes it clear what the employee would have earned, otherwise Average Daily Pay.
Things to check
- The employee's last anniversary date is correct so the 8% accrual is measured from the right point.
- The work pattern and ordinary hours per day reflect the employee's normal schedule, because they drive the day rate.
- Any opening balances entered when the employee was migrated are still accurate at termination.
Manual override mode is available on the wizard if a specific case needs a different figure.
