Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an employee leave balance?
An employee leave balance is the number of paid leave days currently available after considering accrued entitlement, carry-forward, adjustments, and leave already used.
2. How does monthly leave accrual work?
Monthly accrual divides the yearly leave entitlement by 12 and credits leave according to the number of completed or elapsed months in the leave year.
3. What is carry-forward leave?
Carry-forward leave is unused leave from a previous leave year that an employer permits an employee to use in the current year, usually subject to a limit or expiry date.
4. Can this calculator handle half-day leave?
Yes. The calculator accepts decimal values such as 0.5, 1.5, or 2.5 days, making it suitable for half-day leave records.
5. What does projected leave balance mean?
The projected balance is the current available leave minus any pending or approved future leave entered in the calculator.
6. Does sick leave reduce annual leave?
Normally, sick leave is tracked separately and does not reduce annual leave unless the employer’s policy combines both categories into one paid time off balance.
7. How is the estimated leave value calculated?
The calculator divides monthly salary by average workdays per month to estimate a daily rate, then multiplies that rate by the current annual leave balance.
8. Can new employees use prorated leave entitlement?
Yes. Select monthly or daily accrual and enter the employment start date so the estimated entitlement reflects the employee’s service period within the selected year.
9. Why might the HR system show a different balance?
Differences may result from company-specific rounding, probation rules, unpaid absence, weekends, holidays, accrual cut-off dates, or leave transactions not yet posted.
10. Can I print or save the leave balance statement?
Yes. Use the Print Preview button to print only the completed live preview or save it as a PDF on an A4 page.
