Leave Allotment & Calculation

  • This configuration defines how Casual Leave (CL) is credited to employees and how the system calculates the final leave balance.

Leave Allotment

Leave Allotment Will Be → Attendance Based

  • When Attendance Based is selected, leave is not granted as a fixed number. Instead, it is earned proportionally based on the employee’s attendance during the calculation period (usually monthly).

How it works

  • Employees who are present for all eligible days receive the full leave credit.
  • Employees with absent days, unpaid leave, or loss of pay (LOP) receive reduced leave credit.
  • Leave credit is calculated using the attendance ratio.

Example

  • Monthly Casual Leave entitlement: 1.5 days
  • Total calendar days in the month: 30
  • Employee present for: 24 days
