# How do I pay out unused leave to my employee?

In order to pay the employee for these hours, all you need to do is follow these simple steps:

* Log in to your Salary.lu account.
* Click on the "Leaves" tab
* Click on the "Add" button
* Select the specific employee
* Select the type "Unused paid leave"
* Set the start date to match your employee's last day of work
* Enter the number of remaining leave hours (as on the last payslip)
* Enter the hourly rate (if left blank, the last one available on the payslip will be used)
* Create the leave record
* Regenerate the last payslip again

|| Please note that before adding this benefit type to your employee's profile, you must have **terminated the contract and created an exit declaration** in order for the system to know exactly when the last day of work was. Then create a payslip for this last month to know the **final amount of unused hours**.
