What Happens When “Off-Cycle Leave” Is Enabled or Not?

Enabling Off-Cycle Leave means the employee will be paid immediately—on the day the leave is taken—rather than waiting for the regular payroll cycle. These payments are processed through the Off-Cycle Leave Process Wizard and will include both the worked days within the current period and the entire duration of the leave.

If Off-Cycle Leave is left off, the leave is treated as part of the regular payroll and paid according to the standard payroll schedule.

Example:

1. Off-Cycle Leave: Employee A takes leave from April 15 to May 14 (30 days). If marked as off-cycle, the system will calculate and pay:

• Worked days from April 1–14 (14 days)
• Leave days from April 15–May 14 (30 days)
• Total: 44 days paid immediately

2. Normal Leave: The same leave from April 15 to May 14 would result in:

• Payment for 14 worked days in April
• Payment for 16 leave days in April
• Total: 30 days paid in April

The remaining leave days (May 1–14) will be included in the May payroll.

Note: Off-cycle leaves are useful for immediate settlement scenarios but should be used with care, especially to avoid duplicating payments across payroll cycles.
