Note: Accrued leave pay is calculated by multiplying three weeks’ wages by the fraction of a year worked, thus – for six months' employment, leave pay is ½ x times three weeks' pay; for 13 weeks' employment, leave pay is ¼ x times three weeks' pay; for five weeks' employment, leave pay is 5/52 x three weeks' pay.

Thus for a monthly-paid employee the leave accrued in – six months is ½ x 9/13 x one month’s pay; 13 weeks is ¼ x 9/13 x one month's pay; five weeks is 5/52 x 9/13 x one month’s pay.
