You can calculate vacation payments both by using the regular payroll run and the off cycle payroll run.

A regular payroll run only calculates vacation payment within the corresponding payroll period (even when the vacation extends beyond this payroll period).
You use the off-cycle payroll run for vacation payment calculation to pay vacation in advance; that is, before the employee goes on vacation. This is the legal format.
