How many days does someone actually have left? Pick a person; the cards answer. Entitlement grows with service, so service is shown. Days left, in the largest type on the card. Carried-over days expire. So they get their own line. Sick leave is paid in bands, not one flat rate. Where the law sets no limit, we don't invent one. These are the public holidays that shaped the count earlier. The page states the rule it is applying. Switch country. A different calendar, a different nation's days. Two countries. Two calendars. One set of arithmetic. And this is the month, as a picture. Two people out on the same Tuesday is a thing you see, not discover.
Frequently asked questions
Does annual leave entitlement grow with length of service?
Yes, entitlement grows with service, which is why the balance card shows the employee's service alongside the days left.
What happens to carried-over leave days?
They expire, so they get their own line on the balance card rather than being blended into the total.
Is sick leave paid at one flat rate?
No — sick leave is paid in bands, not one rate. Where the law sets no limit, the product does not invent one, and each page states the rule it is applying.
