How to Read Your Results
Expected absence days converts the percentage entered into scheduled workdays.
Unpaid absence days are the estimated days beyond the fully paid allowance.
Estimated pay at risk is a gross amount, not a take-home pay reduction.
Estimated annual income is the offered salary less the estimated lost pay.
A zero pay-at-risk result means expected absence is within the allowance under the simplified assumptions.
Assumptions & Important Notes
- All examples use a full-year salary and full-year paid absence allowance.
- Paid absence days are assumed to be paid at 100% of estimated daily salary.
- Unpaid days are valued using annual salary divided by scheduled workdays.
- Taxes, pension deductions, bonuses and other pay components are excluded.
