Leave Salary

Leave salary is the salary paid to you during your approved leave period. In many organizations, this salary is paid in advance so you can access your salary while you are on vacation.

If you are planning to take annual leave, you can request to receive your leave salary before your leave begins.

In Zoho Payroll, you can submit a Leave Salary request from the Employee Portal, and your employer will review and process the request.

For example, suppose you plan to take 10 days of annual leave in April. You can request the leave salary in March so that the salary for those 10 leave days is paid before your vacation begins.

What Happens When You Request Leave Salary

When you request leave salary:

The system calculates the salary amount you are eligible to receive for the leave period.
Your employer reviews and approves the request.
Once approved, the leave salary will be paid in the payroll month you selected.

When the payroll for your actual leave month is processed, the system automatically adjusts your salary to account for the leave days that were already paid in advance.
