Understanding Paid Leave and Days Off
What is Paid Leave?
Paid leave refers to time an employee can take off work while still receiving their regular pay. This includes vacation leave, sick leave, parental leave, and public holidays. It's typically considered an employee benefit provided by the employer.
Types of Paid Leave
- •Annual Leave: Vacation days for rest and recreation
- •Sick Leave: Time off for illness or medical appointments
- •Public Holidays: National or regional holidays
- •Parental Leave: Time off for childbirth or adoption
Factors Affecting Entitlement
- •Country: Different legal minimums and standards
- •Contract Type: Full-time, part-time, or contract work
- •Length of Service: More experience may mean more days
- •Company Policy: Employers may exceed legal minimums
Pro-rata Calculation: Part-time employees typically receive proportional leave based on their working hours compared to full-time equivalents.
