Leave entitlement FAQs

What is the statutory minimum annual leave in Sri Lanka?

Under the Shop and Office Employees Act, employees are entitled to a minimum of 14 days of earned/annual leave per year after completing 12 months of continuous service.

How is leave encashment calculated?

Leave encashment is typically calculated as: (Monthly salary / Working days per month) x unutilised annual leave days. The calculator defaults to 25 working days per month, which you can adjust.

What are the sick and casual leave entitlements?

The statutory minimum for both sick and casual leave is 7 days each per year. Many employers offer more generous allowances in their employment contracts.

How is the gratuity estimate calculated?

The monthly accrual shown is a simplified estimate: (monthly salary ÷ 12) × 0.5, representing how gratuity builds each month. Actual entitlement at termination is calculated under Payment of Gratuity Act No. 12 of 1983 as 0.5 × last drawn salary × completed years of service, and requires a minimum of 5 years of continuous service to qualify. Use the Gratuity Calculator for a precise lump-sum figure.
