Leave Days Calculator (BCEA)
Check annual leave accrual based on the BCEA formula. If you're tracking leave in spreadsheets or WhatsApp messages, it breaks the moment you have more than 3 people.
Leave Days Calculator
Annual leave accrual based on months worked.
The BCEA entitles employees to 21 consecutive days (15 working days for a 5-day week) per annual leave cycle. This calculator uses the working-day equivalent: 3 weeks × your work days per week. Leave accrues monthly from the start date.
Sick leave: 30 days over a 3-year cycle (separate from annual leave). Family responsibility leave: 3 days per year.
