# How to terminate an employee without paying out their leave (Usually LSL)

### Overview

Sometimes when terminating an employee, you don’t want Accentis Enterprise to pay out their leave entitlement.

- Adjusting the amount of leave accrued on the termination pay run to be a negative value of their current balance (see below)
