<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>

Go to <b>Payroll → Reports → Leave Salary Report</b>.

<p><b>What it shows.</b> One row per approved or closed pay run that has leave salary days. Columns include employee, department, pay-run month, leave salary days, leave salary amount, and the employee’s current available leave balance.</p>

<p><b>When to use it.</b> After payroll, to list who was paid leave salary in a month, how many days and how much was paid, and what leave balance remains now. This is <b>encashment on the pay run</b>, not monthly leave credit. For days added to allowance, use <a href="#/hr/reports/leave-allowance-credit-report">Leave Credit Report</a>.</p>

<h2 id="faq">FAQ</h2>

<p><b>Is this the same as Leave Credit Report?</b><br>No. Leave Credit Report lists days <b>added</b> to leave allowance. This report lists days <b>paid out</b> as leave salary on a pay run.</p>

<p><b>Why is Available Leave Balance the same on two months for one employee?</b><br>The balance is as of report generation, not a snapshot at the pay-run date. Historical balance at that pay run is not stored.</p>

<p><b>Why is an employee missing?</b><br>The pay run must be Approved or Closed and must have leave salary days greater than zero in the selected months.</p>

<p><b>How is the amount calculated?</b><br>It is the Leave Salary payment line on the pay run (daily rate × leave salary days). Daily rate uses payment categories marked <b>Applies to Leave Salary</b> and the leave-salary day basis in <a href="#/payroll/payroll-settings-config">Payroll Settings</a>.</p>

<p><b>Does this report include unpaid leave or LOP?</b><br>No. Those are attendance / pay-run LOP fields, not leave salary encashment.</p>
