Calculating Sick Leave

Every employee who has worked for at least 6 months is entitled to sick leave. The entitlement is a maximum of 14 working days for non-hospitalization and up to 60 days where hospitalization is necessary. An employee cannot claim paid sick leave while on annual leave, rest day, public holiday or any non-working day.

The sick leave entitlement—SLV SICK ENT—using eligibility SCK GC ELIG and formula SCK FM GC ELIG grants the entitlement to the employee. The maximum days is set to 14 days and the value is stored in variable SCK VR FXD ENT. You can change the value in this variable to suit your company requirements.

The entitlement is granted each calendar year. When sick leave exceeds entitlement, the extra days are taken from the annual leave. Balance days that cannot be reduced from annual leave are converted into unpaid leave and deduction is generated within payroll.
