I need your advise on the following query:
In our company, the rule for rule without pay is to deduct the salary per working day. For example, if the salary of an employee is Rs 26,000 pm and the number of working days in a month are 26 - if the employee takes Leave without pay for 3 days, 3 x 26,000/26 = 3,000 would be deducted. Thus Sundays and other holidays are excluded from both the numerator and denominator.
Is this practice correct?
Thanks and await your response urgently

Above practice not correct.

Firstly an employer should not calculate monthly salary on the basis of no. of working days for Salaried employment in any company / organization.

Standard calculation for all the organization is as follows,

Monthly Gross Salary (MGS) = Annual Gross Salary (AGS)/12

Monthly gross salary = (MGS /Number of days in that month)
* (Number of days in that month - Number of LWP (leave without pay)
Month with 31 days with 2 lwp (Leave without pay) = (MGS/31) * (31-2) ie. 29
Month with 30 days with 2 lwp (Leave without pay) = (MGS/30) * (30-2) ie. 28
Month with 28 days with 2 lwp (Leave without pay) = (MGS/28) * (28-2) ie. 26

Also "Leave with Pay" should be kept aside while calculating monthly salaries, this has to gets adjusted only when an employee goes for an vacation after informing respective employer officially. Example: If an employee has 5 "Leave with pay" and goes for an vacation for 10 days, an employer can adjust earned 5 leaves here ie. 10-5= 5 days leaves.

Can anybody tell me how leave deduction is applicable in case, as per company policy, 18 leaves are allowed in a year? If an employee has not taken a leave in the last 2 months, for the current month, he has 2 leaves. Will his last 2 months' remaining leaves be adjusted with this month's leaves?

Please reply.

Hi All,

I was looking for 2 clarifications.

Firstly, Sick leave - 0, Earned Leave - 0 When an employee takes leave without pay on Friday and Monday, should we consider it as 4 days of leave, from Friday till Monday, or only Friday and Monday, which is 2 days?

Secondly, can anyone share a policy on Leave without pay or an unpaid leave policy? It might help others in the forum.

Hi Mohanraj,

It is a common practice for companies to deduct the weekend from payable salary if it falls between a leave period. In my company, there is a rule that employees will not receive payment for the weekend if they are absent or on leave for any two days in the preceding week.

There are still disagreements regarding the scenario where a person is absent for just one day on either side of the weekend. However, in your case, it appears clear that four days' worth of salary will likely be deducted.
