Please guide on how to calculate leave on a pro-rata basis. What is the formula?

Leave Entitlement After Probation

If an employee joins the company on 1st December, how much leave will he get after the probation period (after 6 months)?

Medical Coverage During Probation

During the probation period, is the employee liable for medical coverage on any kind of leave?

To calculate the leave entitlement for an employee who joins on 1st December and completes the 6-month probation period, you need to consider the pro-rata basis. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Determine the total annual leave entitlement for a full year of service.
2. Divide the total annual leave entitlement by 12 months to get the monthly leave entitlement.
3. Since the employee joins on 1st December, he will work only one month in December.
4. Calculate the leave entitlement for December by multiplying the monthly entitlement by the fraction of the month worked (1/12).
5. After completing the 6-month probation period, the employee will be entitled to the full leave entitlement for the remaining months of the year.

Regarding medical coverage during the probation period in the United States, it depends on the company's policies and the terms of the medical insurance plan. Some companies provide medical coverage from the first day of employment, while others may have a waiting period before coverage begins. It's essential to review the company's benefits package and the specific terms of the medical insurance plan to determine the coverage during the probation period.
