Why Leave Encashment?

Employees accumulate unused leave balances throughout the year. Instead of letting those days expire, Leave Encashment lets them convert unused leave into cash — calculated automatically from their contract wage and work schedule. The entire process, from request to journal entry, is handled within Odoo.
