What Is The Cash-Up Weeks Remaining Tracker On An Employee's Leave Tab?

The Holidays Act lets an employee cash up up to one week of annual holidays per entitlement year. The cash-up tracker on the leave tab shows how much of that allowance is still available.

How the tracker works

• The tracker is set to one week at the start of each entitlement year (i.e. on the employment anniversary).
• When you record a cash-up on the leave taken dialog, the tracker decreases by the amount cashed up.
• It resets to one week again on the next anniversary.

What "one week" means

• One week of the employee's ordinary work pattern - so for a part-time employee on three days a week, one week is three days.
• Cashed-up amounts use the same valuation as annual holidays taken (higher of AWE or OWP).

How to cash up annual holidays

1. Open Pays and the relevant pay.
2. Open the leave taken dialog and pick Annual holidays.
3. Tick Cash up annual holidays?
4. Enter the weeks or days to cash up - the dialog will warn if the request exceeds the remaining tracker.
5. Save the pay.

Adjusting the tracker manually

If a previous payroll allowed a cash-up earlier this year and you need to record that, edit the cash-up weeks remaining this year field on the leave tab so the tracker reflects what has already been used.

Cash-up requests are voluntary - both the employer and employee must agree, and the employer can decline.
