Struggling with Leave Calculations? Let's Clarify How to Count Days Off and Entitlements

Hi, can anyone help me find the formula for casual leave, paid leave, etc.? Is it manual, or can it be fixed monthly or yearly? Please tell me if weekly offs and holidays can be added to one's total working days. For example, if the total present days are 240, with 30 weekly offs and 5 holidays, are the working days 240 days or 275 days?

Entitlement to Leave

After how many days are we entitled to casual leave, paid leave, etc.? Please provide me with full details, as there is some confusion in making formulas. If you have any formulas, please email me at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

Thanks,

Employees who have completed 1 month will get 1 CL and 2 SL. However, today in private organizations, after completion of 1 year, a person is entitled to paid leave of 15 days. The allocation of leaves varies depending on the firm; some may provide 30 PL, 12 CL, and 15 SL at the time of joining, while others may offer 12 CL and 12 SL after completion of 1 month.

I hope you are aware of leaves. As per my knowledge, there are three types of leaves:

1. Casual leaves
2. Sick leaves
3. Paid or earned leaves

Casual leaves will be allotted to every employee in the number of 12 per year, i.e., one per month. Sick leaves are also provided in the same manner, with 12 leaves per year, i.e., one per month. Paid or earned leaves are allocated at 15 per year, i.e., 1.25 per month.

As per the AP Shops & Establishment Act, after the completion of 240 working days, only paid leaves will be allotted to an employee. This means that 240 days exclude Sundays, holidays, etc. Other leaves can be granted per company norms.

For leave purposes, no weekly offs or holidays can be taken into consideration. However, regarding experience certificates, weekly offs or holidays can be considered.

I am not confident that my information will clear all your doubts; still, I wanted to share what I know.

Hello colleague, The issue of leave largely depends on each company's regulations on who qualifies, how many days, and how many types of leaves, etc. However, some countries have employment-regulated guidelines on vacation, and some employers choose to adopt those rules.

Casual and Seasonal Employees

Casual and seasonally contracted employees do not qualify for paid leave in most countries. The main reason is that their nature of work is periodical. For permanent staff, most companies and governments have a rule that new employees can qualify for paid leave after successful completion of their probation or at least worked for 2 months.

Computation of Paid Leave

The formula for the computation of paid leave is tricky and varies from company to company. However, in any instance, paid leave is treated as normal working days. So when computing the leave pay, this should be put into consideration. I will use 2 examples:

1. An annual salary-based formula is (BP X 12) / 365 = Annual Daily Rate. Multiply the above by the Paid Leave Days to get the Leave Pay.

2. Monthly Salary based on working days = BP / Monthly Working Days. Multiply the above by Paid Leave Days Balance.

Of course, both formulas may yield different amounts, but the company is at liberty to decide which formula best fits the situation. However, the employee should never be disadvantaged!

Hope my response was helpful!

Dear friends,

Leave Entitlements in India

In India, every workman is eligible for three kinds of leaves: CL (Casual Leave), SL (Sick Leave), and PL (Paid Leave). According to the Factories Act, upon completion of 240 days of work, every workman is eligible to avail of PL leave benefits. Normally, leave is calculated based on the number of working days. One workman is eligible to get 1 day of PL for every 20 working days (excluding weekly offs, holidays, and other availed leaves, etc).

Dear Friends,

Guidelines for Leave Eligibility

Can anyone provide guidelines on how many CL, SL, and PL an employee can get after joining?

It means:
1. How many months must an employee complete to be eligible for CLs?
2. How many months must an employee complete to be eligible for SLs?
3. How many months must an employee complete to be eligible for PLs?

I want information as per the law. Kindly send it to my email address: [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].
