Carryover (Rollover)
Unused leave that moves from one period into the next, often up to a cap.
Carryover (also called rollover) lets employees move unused leave into the following year instead of losing it. Many employers apply a carryover cap so balances don't grow without limit.
Carryover is a common middle ground between unlimited banking and strict use-it-or-lose-it forfeiture, rewarding planning while controlling liability.
Example: With a 5-day carryover cap, an employee ending the year with 8 unused days carries 5 into next year.
In Orvella: Orvella enforces carryover caps and expiry automatically and shows projected year-end balances.
