Leave Rate - Carryover Limit

A leave rate carryover limit refers to the maximum amount of unused paid time off (PTO) or leave that an employee is allowed to carry over from one accrual period to the next. This limit is set by the employer and is typically specified in company policies or employment contracts.

The purpose of a leave rate carryover limit is to prevent employees from accumulating excessive amounts of unused leave, which can create liabilities for employers and disrupts workforce planning. By setting a carryover limit, employers can encourage employees to use their accrued leave regularly and avoid situations where employees accrue large amounts of unused leave that must be paid out upon termination or resignation.

Leave rate carryover limits can vary depending on company policies, industry practices, and legal requirements. Some employers may allow employees to carry over unused leave indefinitely, while others may have strict limits on carryover or may require employees to use or forfeit their unused leave by the end of the accrual period.
