The first question you have to ask yourself is whether you want to track hours/days of unused leave in beancount at all. If you don't, just use the reduced salary amount as income and be done. > - I think that purchased leave might be classed a liability. Is this > correct?

The other side would be a reducation in salary or a liability (you have to give salary back to your employer). > - I would like to keep the purchased leave account in a time-based > currency.
