The enterprise expects, based on past experience which is
expected to continue, that 92 employees will take no more than
five days of leave in 20X5 and that the remaining eight employees
will take an average of six and a half days each.
The enterprise expects that it will pay an additional 12 days

enterprise recognises no liability or expense until the time of the absence,
because employee service does not increase the amount of the benefit.

accumulating compensated absences which are non-vesting (i.e., short-
term accumulating compensated absences in respect of which employees
are not entitled to cash payment for unused entitlement on leaving).

as a result of past events; and
(b) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
A present obligation exists when, and only when, the enterprise has
no realistic alternative but to make the payments.
18. Under some profit-sharing plans, employees receive a share of the
