What Should I Check Before Cashing Up Annual Holidays?

Use the Cash Up Annual Holidays action only for a valid annual-holidays cash-up request. Cash-up is not the same as taking annual holidays, paying leave in advance, or paying a final pay.

1. Confirm the employee is cashing up entitled Annual Holidays, not projected weeks before the 12-month entitlement date.
2. Keep the employee's written request or written agreement with the payroll records.
3. Confirm the employee has not been pressured to cash up annual holidays.
4. Check the remaining cash-up allowance for the entitlement year. The standard Holidays Act limit is no more than one week from the minimum 4-week entitlement.
5. Use Employees >> Leave >> Leave Entitlement Adjustments >> Cash Up Annual Holidays so the annual-holidays weeks balance and payout record stay aligned.

If the employee has extra contractual annual holidays above the statutory minimum, confirm the agreement before using the statutory cash-up action. Extra contractual leave may need a separate pay item or custom leave process.
