    Hi Tarnz_1 

    Leave without pay up to a week each time is still considered continuous employment, therefore the leave calculation would need to be 4 weeks over 52 weeks of earnings (including the unpaid weeks). The divisor would not change.

Hi Tarnz_1 

Which payroll programme are you using?

So the employee doesn't get paid for the week off? - however they would still deemed to be employed, so I think it would need to be based on 52 weeks a year albeit the earnings would be over 43 weeks. You could possible proess leaves without pay for the weeks off. However I think more specialist HR advice would be needed.
