This does not decide whether an absence was authorised or whether it may be excluded from a particular entitlement.

Formula used

Salary impact = monthly wage ÷ 30 × unpaid-leave days. Adjusted service = recorded service days − potentially excluded days.

Assumptions to verify

  • The entered days were unpaid.
  • The salary divisor shown is appropriate for payroll reconciliation.
  • The same days may properly be excluded from the service calculation being reviewed.

What this result does not prove

  • Whether an absence was authorised.
  • Whether a deduction is lawful.
  • The impact on every benefit, leave category or savings scheme.

Use the result as an evidence check

Save the assumptions beside the contract, payroll records and official source used. A result becomes useful when every input can be traced to an original record.
