Banked leave is a special type of leave whereby the employees gross pay is reduced using a pre-tax deduction and this money is used to pay for the hours accrued (or banked). This is a form of salary sacrifice.
Eg. Employee works 40 hours per week, and by agreement 2 hours are converted to a banked leave accrual. So the persons gross pay is reduced to 38 hours and 2 hours become available as banked leave which can later be used as a paid RDO.

In the payrun we can see when the employee hits 40 hours worked, they are paid for 38 hours, and 2 hours are banked from their gross pay.
