Can we add leave to be paid out automatically on termination?

To automatically add remuneration for leave on termination may cause some employers to be out of pocket because not all leave should always be paid out as annual leave expires after 18 months according to South African labour law and some employers, although they would allow the employee to still take it after 18 months, do not pay it out on termination. Thus, we allow editing of payslips after termination but before requesting the EMP201 report.
