Generally no. Variable pay such as bonuses, commission and overtime is usually excluded.
When should leave salary be paid?
Usually before the leave starts or with the normal payroll, and unused leave is settled in the final settlement when employment ends.

Carry-forward is allowed within the limits set by law and your employer’s policy. Ask HR about your company rules.

Public holidays falling within your leave are not normally deducted from your annual leave balance. Check your company policy.
