Answer
The leave taken dialog includes a Cash up annual holidays? option for annual holidays. This is for situations where annual holidays are being paid out without the employee actually taking time off work.
How it behaves in Lightning Payroll
When you tick this option, the leave entry is treated as a cash-up rather than time away from work. That means the entry is not handled like ordinary time-off leave in the pay.
Before using it
- Only use it for a genuine annual holiday cash-up situation.
- Check that the leave type is annual holidays, not some other leave type.
- Review the quantity and valuation carefully before saving the pay.
If the employee is actually taking leave from work, leave this option unticked and enter the leave as normal time off instead.
