Questions people ask
How is unpaid leave deducted from salary?
One day's pay times the unpaid days. Most employers take a day's pay as the monthly salary divided by 30.
What is the ÷26 method?
Some employers divide by 26 working days, which gives a slightly higher day's pay and so a larger deduction.
Can paid leave be deducted?
No. Leave you're entitled to under your contract or the law is paid.
