Frequently Asked Questions
Can unused leave be carried forward? Is it paid out?
Rules for carry-forward and payout vary by country. Some jurisdictions permit limited carry-forward; others require payout on exit. AcumenInternational provides country-specific guidance, so you know your obligations in every location.
What happens if my employee never takes their leave?
Untaken statutory leave must usually be compensated at contract termination. In some countries, unused leave may be carried forward or, if allowed by law, forfeited. Acumen tracks balances and ensures the correct treatment according to local regulations, so you remain compliant and avoid surprises.
Will accruals affect the total employment cost?
Yes, but only in the sense that they help you budget accurately for statutory obligations. Accruals represent a liability that you must pay, either as paid leave during employment or as a payout at exit. Managing accruals properly prevents unplanned costs and supports compliance.
