To calculate pro rata leaves, follow this formula: (Number of working days in a year / Total annual leave entitlement) x Number of days worked. This calculates the leave entitlement based on the proportion of the year that has been worked. For example, if you work 100 days in a year with 20 days of total annual leave, your pro rata leave would be (20/365) x 100. This method ensures employees are allocated leave fairly, according to their work duration within the year.
