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 banked and the employee can then draw some of it down.

Parameters

This step takes no configuration. The amount comes from the employee’s payout request on the statement.

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.
