Leave Calculation Confusion: How Do You Handle a 31-Day Month in Your Company?

Dear Members, I am working in a small software company. We have Saturday and Sunday off. We have 12 earned leaves per year, which means anyone can take 1 leave per month. If anyone doesn't use their particular month's leave, that leave will be forwarded to the next month.

For example, if somebody takes a 3-day leave in a particular month and doesn't have any previous or carried-forward leaves, and if there are 30 days in that month, what we do is they avail 1 leave for the current month, so we deduct only 2 days' salary from their account.

Leave Calculation for a 31-Day Month

My doubt is, in the same situation mentioned above, if the month has 31 days, how do we calculate leaves? Should we deduct 2 days' salary from their account, or should we deduct only 1 day's salary from their account? Please clarify my doubt.

Dear Murali, whatever may be the number of days in the month, his salary doesn't change; it is fixed. If an employee is getting Rs. 10,000/- per month, then he will receive the same salary even if the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days (full attendance).

In your case, you only need to deduct 2 days. Whatever the number of days in the month, whether 28, 29, 30, or 31, the Loss of Pay (LOP) is marked for 2 days. You pay them for 26, 27, 28, and 29 days respectively.

Additionally, if an employee takes leave on Friday and Monday (consecutively), then you can consider the leave as 4 days. Here, the days off do not count, and you can deduct the salary if the employee doesn't have any leave.

Kind regards,

Hello Friends, I have joined a new R&D Company. The leave structure is CL 4 days, SL 3 days, PL 15 days. The probationary period is 6 months. During the probationary period, only 1 day of leave is allowed. After confirmation, employees are eligible for CL, SL, and PL on a pro-rata basis. My confusion lies in how 4 days of CL and 4 days of SL can be given on a pro-rata basis. Please let me know whether this is correct or incorrect. Also, could you inform me about the actual number of CL and SL days that can be given per year? I need to discuss this with my director; therefore, please help me.

Regards,
R K Nath
