Requested payout
The Requested payout step pays out the amount the employee asked to withdraw — entered at submit time and approved together with the statement — never more than the account currently holds.
When to use
- Agreements that let employees cash out part of their flex on request, rather than on a fixed schedule.
- Combined with a crediting step, so the period is first credited and the employee can then draw some of it down.
Parameters
The amount comes from the employee’s payout request on the statement.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Factor | Scales what payroll receives relative to the time paid out of the account. 1.0 pays the same; 0.6667 pays two thirds — for comp time banked at 1:1.5 and paid on an overtime wage type. The account always loses the full amount. Default 1.0. |
How it works
When the statement carries a payout request, the step pays out the requested amount — capped at the current balance, so a request can never overdraw the account. With no request, the step does nothing.
Where the employee enters it
The employee makes the request in the statement sheet when submitting the period: a Request payout card lists each eligible account and the most it will pay out, and warns when a cap would move those hours anyway. Until an account’s pipeline carries this step, no card is shown. See Timesheet statements.
