Annual Leave Encashment
Annual Leave Encashment explained in plain English for employees comparing final pay, notice, payment in lieu, vacation, and severance terms.
Annual leave encashment
A phrase often used for paying out unused annual leave days instead of taking them as time off.
What it is not: It is not a guarantee that every unused leave balance will be paid in every circumstance. Local rules, contract terms, and the reason employment ends can matter.
Example: An employee with 5 unused days may use the calculator to estimate 5 times a worksheet daily rate, then ask HR to confirm.
