annual leave thingy

oh...oh...learn new thing today

today's topic is 14 days of leave thingy.

so it is said one year you are entitled to 14 days of leave.

but my accountant said, it is to be spread into the whole 12 months.

so since i worked only until 18 weeks, i only get paid leave for the amount of 18 weeks.

which turns out to be 4.85 days paid leave.

oh.

If an employee has worked less than a year

An employee's annual leave entitlement should be in proportion to the number of completed months of service in that year (If the employee has been in service for at least three months). This entitlement also applies to an employee who has not been confirmed.

If an employee has worked for less than one whole year (i.e. less than 12 months), his/her annual leave should be pro-rated using the following formula:

(No of months in service/12) x 7

Periods of no pay leave should not be included when computing annual leave entitlement.

oh...i see....heehee..probably coz boss had been so cincai i didn't learn the proper system and ridiculously expecting to get extra 14 days pay ^____^; oh well, i had learned~ thanks to my accountant for patiently explaining it!

i am very lucky to be entitled 14 days instead of 8 days according to MOE webpage. my friend told me his company only give 8 days~ but the fun part for his company is that they collects public holidays all together (so when public on holiday they still work) and put it in an appointed month whereby everybody can be on long holiday and totally shut down the office. i think it is a pretty cool idea, all can plan for better holiday trip :)
