Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Accrued Vacation

Accrued vacation refers to the liability recognized on a company’s balance sheet for vacation time earned by employees but not yet taken. This accounting term reflects the obligation to compensate employees for their earned leave, which accumulates over time. Accrued vacation is typically recorded as a current liability, as it represents a future cash outflow when employees utilize their vacation days.
