I’m considering leaving my current job however there are quite a lot of leaves I didn’t use, would it be possible to cash it out? Anyone had a similar experience?
I’m curious why you are asking us about your companies leave policy? My company cashed out leave. Yours might not. Ask your HR, not reddit.
Legally, there is no cash out rule. I’m not even sure that it is legal to do so, though your company May have something in its working rules and regulations, or contract.
The general thing that happens is that you set a final date for actual work, then after that date you use up the annual leave you’ve accrued, effectively getting your annual leave paid out.
Like someone already mentioned, it depends on your company’s policy. I had too many days so I was able to negotiate to use up 14 days and remaining 13 days left were paid with my salary.
Not in Japan – they don’t pay out for unused PTO (unless you’re fired). It’s use it, or lose it. I am to understand that this is a regulation (law?) and companies are not able (allowed?) to pay out for any unused PTO.
Assuming you’d like your last day as 28 Feb, and have 10 days of PTO remaining, use your 10 days PTO from Mar 01-03, 06-10, and 13-14 instead, and notify them that your last day will be Mar 14. That would effectively cash it out to you.
The only time I heard about cashing out paid leaves was when my father retired.
It is not covered by law. So it’s company policies that decides.
In my case I had to use my holidays when quit, or they would just disappear.
You can not cash out leave in Japanese companies. Take the leave, then resign.
