To calculate pro-rata basis for leaves, divide the total annual leave entitlement by the number of months in a year (usually 12) to get the leave entitlement per month. Then, multiply this number by the number of months the employee has worked or will work during the year. For example, if the annual leave entitlement is 24 days, and an employee has worked 6 months, they are entitled to (24/12)*6 = 12 days of leave.
