A: Not at all, so please don't make financial decisions based on this tool! This tool was built using answers about pay impact I received from a very friendly employee of Public Works when they processed my own leave with income averaging.
A: The calculator takes your yearly salary and divides it by 260.88 in order to get your daily salary. We then take this amount and multiply it by the number of days of leave, which gives us the entire "cost" of the leave. That cost is then divided by 26, to give you the impact on your pay every 2 weeks. The amount is gross, not net, and there might be other factors at play in your specific case (bilingual bonus, acting pay, etc.) This tool is simply meant to help you in your decision making process and the true impact on your paycheck will not be identical to the amount provided here.
A: Statutory holidays that are within the leave must be included, because if we do not work the day before or after said holiday, we are not entitled to be paid for it.
A: 5 minutes to ask ChatGPT to write the HTML, Javascript and CSS code (here is my conversation with ChatGPT in case you're interested). 10 minutes to write this FAQ. 5 minutes to publish it online ;)
A: Absolutely!
A: It was built with love by Claudie Larouche with help from ChatGPT. I'd be happy to connect!
