How to use this result
Enter the continuous employment start date and the date you want to check. During the first six months, enter actual days worked. For the remaining cycle, the estimate uses six times your normal workdays per week.
The leave already taken must relate to the current cycle and include days used in the first six months when relevant. The result does not assess proof of incapacity, occupational injury claims or an employee’s eligibility for a particular absence.
Keep the assumptions visible
Use an estimate to start a conversation, then reconcile it with the organisation’s verified leave record. Irregular schedules, changes in service and special contractual arrangements need separate consideration.
Inputs stay in your browser. These calculators do not connect to the authenticated LeaveCtrl application or change an employee’s leave balance.
