I'm sure companies would keep every cent if they could.
It sounds great till you scratch the surface , but using up leave can be advantageous as well, more than likely on a lower tax bracket for the year , so leave is worth more in the hand. Paying off any debt faster is a major advantage.
Storing up leave is not such a good idea if your company goes bankrupt . A happy medium is what’s required.
