High income employees can make an agreement to be paid for some of their annual leave instead of taking it. This can be done if:

• the agreement is in writing
• the employer pays the employee the same amount the employee would get if they had taken the leave
• the employee has at least 4 weeks left in their leave balance after the rest is cashed out.
