How do you calculate the sick leave earnings for an employee who works a schedule other than a five-day workweek of 37.5 or 40 hours per week?
A part-time employee and and employee who works a non-standard work schedule earns sick leave based on the employees average workday. The average workday is determined by dividing the total number of hours the employee is regularly scheduled to work during a week by five. Example: An employee works 30 hours per week in an agency that has a 37.5-hour workweek. To determine the sick leave accrual rate, first determine the employees average workday by dividing the 30-hour workweek by 5. The employee has an average workday of 6 hours. Second, determine the monthly sick leave accrual rate by multiplying the number of sick leave days the employee is eligible to earn per month by the average workday. This employee is eligible to earn 1.25 days of sick leave per month multiplied by the 6-hour average workday. This employee would earn 7.5 hours of sick leave per month.
