What is LOP? • LOP (Loss of Pay) = salary deduction for working days an employee is absent without approved leave • Also applies when all leave balances (CL, EL, SL) are exhausted • These absent days are 'lost' from salary — hence 'loss of pay'
When Does LOP Apply? • Employee is absent without prior leave approval • All leave types are exhausted and employee takes more leave • Leaves taken beyond the sanctioned leave quota • Employee is on an unapproved extension of leave
LOP Calculation: • Per-day salary = Monthly Salary ÷ Number of working days in month • LOP deduction = Per-day salary × Number of LOP days
Example: • Monthly salary = ₹30,000 • Working days in month = 25 • LOP days = 2 • Per-day salary = 30,000 ÷ 25 = ₹1,200 • LOP deduction = 1,200 × 2 = ₹2,400 • Net salary = 30,000 - 2,400 = ₹27,600
