Leave Salary vs Duty Salary
Leave salary is paid when you are on leave. It is not the same as regular salary. There are some conditions on how leave salary is paid. It is paid according to those conditions.
- When you are on leave, the basic salary is always the same as it was before you went on leave. The salary increase that happens while you are on leave starts from the day you return to duty. Depending on the type of leave, you will be paid full salary or half salary.
- The basic salary that increases due to increments, PRCs, AASs, and promotions will be paid only after you return from leave.
- DA is paid on a percentage basis on the basic salary. So, if you are paid full salary, you will get full DA. If you are paid half salary, you will get half DA.
- HRA is paid depending on the location. However, whether you are paid full salary or half salary, HRA is always paid in full. However, this is only for up to 180 days. If you continue to be on leave for more than 180 days, HRA will not be paid in full.
- In the same way, if an employee is on leave for 180 days, his/her post is considered vacant. So, it can be filled up. Similarly, if an employee is on leave for 180 days, he/she must be posted. So, it can be given in the same place. Or it can be given in a different place.
- Personal pays such as those given for additional qualifications, family planning incentive increments are paid when you are on leave. (These personal pays are for those who have been in service before 1999.)
- Special pays and allowances related to duty are not paid when you are on leave. For example, typist allowance, PH allowance, uniform allowance are not paid when you are on leave.
We must understand that leave salary and duty salary are different.
