Good news! Leave encashment (calculating unused leaves for resigned employees) can now be calculated automatically in Talenox. 😁

In order to enable leave encashment feature in Talenox, head over to Account & Preferences > Organisation > Payroll > Leave Encashment. Thereafter, toggle on the option to enable it.

To process leave encashment in Payroll, you can follow the steps below:

Step 1: Enter the Resign Date in the employee's profile.

Step 2: Annual leave balance will be auto-prorated after that.

Step 3: When processing payroll, do choose "Leave Pay" item under Ad Hoc Payment/Deduction tab. The prorated annual leave balance will be synced over to payroll to auto-calculate the leave encashment.

Step 4: Once leave encashment is fully processed in payroll, the prorated annual leave balance will be reduced to 0 days and the deduction will be indicated under "Taken & Adjusted" display.

This is to indicate that the prorated annual leave balance is already paid out along with the employee's salary.

Step 5: The adjustment of prorated annual leave balance (after leave encashment) can be tracked under Leave Balances > Employee Name > Adjust Leave tab:

NOTE: Do not edit the Remarks section - “Annual Leave Encashment” as this might affect the automation process of the new leave encashment field in payroll.
