Difference Between Absence and Leave

Understand the difference between authorized leave and unauthorized absence, and how each affects pay.

[Definitions]

  • Paid leave: statutory right; 100% pay maintained
  • Absence: unapproved or unnotified; subject to wage deduction
  • Sick leave: paid or unpaid as defined in work rules

[Absence deduction]

Monthly salary ÷ scheduled work days × absent days, calculated automatically in WorkVell.

[Converting absence to leave]

If leave is approved retroactively, WorkVell can auto-convert the absence record (configurable).
