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.

Maybe I misunderstand but the purchased leave itself would be an
asset.  The other side would be a reducation in salary or a liability
(you have to give salary back to your employer).

Yeah, just use @

It's an asset.  You're buying time from your employer.  You then own
an asset: time you can spend as you wish.

Yes.
