When a restaurant & bar employee resigns, annual leave pay needs to be calculated based on the employee’s remaining annual leave days, but unlike AL Balance Days, the balance of leave paid during the absence of the employee in the year of resignation needs to be deducted. The detailed rules are as follows:
- Only employees who have been employed for 90 days will receive annual leave pay.
- When an employee resigns, the annual leave taken during the period of non-employment needs to be deducted from the remaining annual leave balance:
- If you join the company before this year and leave this year, you will be granted additional annual leave from the date of resignation to December 31 at the end of the year;
- If you join this year and then leave your job, the annual leave before joining will not be paid. Additional annual leave will be paid after deducting the date of resignation to December 31 at the end of the year.
- The number of annual leave days shall be rounded to two decimal places.
- If the number of days of annual leave remaining after deduction is negative, the result is taken as the nearest integer greater than the result. For example, the calculation result is -1.56 days, and the result is -1 day. When calculating, the result is recorded as negative for deduction.
- When calculating annual leave pay, the larger of the ADW of the month in which the date of resignation occurs and the “monthly salary/monthly calendar days” is used;
- When calculating the number of calendar days in this year and the number of calendar days in the month of resignation, the actual number of days shall be used. That is, the number of days in leap years is 366, the number of days in February is 29, and the number of other months is based on the actual calendar days.
- Sometimes an employee’s annual leave pay may not be calculated in the month of resignation, but in the month after the employee leaves the company.
- When there is a lag, the calculation is still based on the greater of the average daily basic wage in the month of resignation and the ADW in the month of resignation.
