An employee covered under Part IV of the Employment Act who has worked for at least 3 months is entitled to paid annual leave.
Exclude periods of unpaid leave taken.
Round up to 1 day if the fraction is half or more; Round down otherwise.
Any leave taken is counted as a full day of leave, even when taken on a half working day, unless the company allows taking half a day of leave.
Is absent from work in excess of 20% of the work days in a work period of up to a year, without valid reasons or permission.
Does not take the leave within 12 months after 1 complete year of service.
An employer can choose to encash any unused annual leave at the gross rate of pay per the employee's last drawn salary, instead of forfeiture. However, an employer must encash any unused leave for termination of work for reasons other than misconduct.
If an employee is not eligible for paid annual leave or has insufficient balance, unpaid leave (aka no pay leave) can be applied instead, subject to approval, and salary can be deducted accordingly.
