The "Sick Leave (create)" form. The Calculation tab: Detailed Information
The application calculates the daily salary according to the calculation method selected for the sick leave.
For the by Basic Salary calculation method, the daily salary is calculated as the monthly salary divided by 30. Only the accrual and deduction types listed for the employee in the employment contract are used for the calculation.
For the by Average Earnings calculation method, the daily salary is calculated based on employee earnings during the specified number of months (each month earnings are divided by 30, the sum of the resulting amounts is divided by the number of months.) In this case too, the earning types listed in the employment contract will be used for calculation only if they are also listed for the sick leave type.
The Start Date column shows the employment date for the employee.
If the sick leave type is defined with intervals, then the sick leave duration is divided according to the sick leave intervals. Within each interval, the corresponding interval rates are applied to the daily salary. For example, employee Leila took a 17-days sick leave for the first time in the current employment year (she used 0 days of available sick leave). The company pays 100% for first 15 days of sick leave, and 50% for the next 2 days. If her monthly salary is 4000 Dirham with daily salary 133.33, her sick leave pay amounts to 2213.33 = 15*133.33+2*0.5*133.33.
