    Hi MariuchaN3043,

     

    Thanks for reaching out with your query regarding annual leave pay. Changing an employee's pay frequency from weekly to monthly for annual leave payments will not affect any future payments, as tax is calculated based on the employee's total wage, regardless of the frequency.

     

     

    Regards,

Hi @ MariuchaN3043,

Switching annual leave pay from weekly to monthly can impact tax calculations due to different withholding rates, but it shouldn’t affect the overall entitlement or future payments as long as the correct amounts are paid. However, it might alter cash flow for employees who are used to weekly payments, so clear communication is essential.

If you're unsure, consulting a tax advisor or using tools like annualleavecalculator.com can help ensure accuracy in your calculations and compliance.

Hope this helps!
