1. What is Sick Leave Allowance?

Sick leave allowance represents the remaining sick days available to an employee after subtracting the days already used from their annual entitlement. It helps both employees and employers track available sick leave benefits.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Annual Entitlement — Total sick days allocated for the year
• Used — Sick days already taken during the year
• Allowance — Remaining sick days available

Explanation: This calculation helps employees and HR departments keep track of available sick leave to ensure proper workforce management and employee benefits administration.

3. Importance of Tracking Sick Leave

Details: Proper sick leave tracking ensures compliance with labor laws, helps manage workforce availability, prevents abuse of sick leave policies, and supports employee wellness programs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual sick leave entitlement and the number of days already used. Both values should be positive numbers. The calculator will show your remaining sick leave allowance.
