CONTROL SURFACE

Leave Encashment controls keep records clean and traceable.

Choose a view to see how this module keeps daily HR work structured and reviewable.

Rules per leave type

Policy

Each leave type declares whether it can be encashed and at what rate per day, so annual and casual leave can differ.

Values remain traceable in HRM.
Policy detailSynced
BUILT FOR CONTROL

Details that make leave encashment dependable.

No manual arithmetic

Days and the policy rate produce the amount — nothing is assembled in a spreadsheet.

Consistent treatment

Every employee is settled on the same rules, which removes case-by-case negotiation.

Exit settlement built in

Unused leave is picked up automatically as part of final settlement.

Per-type control

Only leave categories you mark encashable can be converted, and encashment is refused when the rate per day is unset or zero.

Ledger transparency

Encashed days show as their own column in the leave balance.

Audit trail

Encashment is recorded against the employee's leave history.

THE FOUNDATION

Leave Encashment workflows that stay connected.

Convert unused leave into payment using each leave type's configured rate per day, with offboarding posting the settlement amount into payroll rather than a spreadsheet.

  1. Encashable by policy

    Leave types carry their own rules, so only the categories you allow can be converted to cash.

    01
  2. Days times rate

    The payable amount is the encashed days multiplied by the leave type's configured rate per day — salary is not part of the formula, and HR chooses the days against the live balance.

    02
  3. Settled at offboarding

    During final settlement, the encashment total posts to payroll as a single non-taxable addition; standalone encashment updates the leave ledger itself.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What HR teams usually ask about leave encashment.

No. Encashment is set per leave type, so you decide which categories qualify — and a type without a rate per day cannot be encashed.

Encashed days multiplied by the leave type's configured rate per day. Salary is not an input.

Remaining encashable balance is valued and posted to final settlement as a single non-taxable payroll addition.
