The answer

The reference for calculating deductions for absent days is the contract between the employee and the employer. If it specifies something, that should be followed. Otherwise, the common practice is to deduct absent days from thirty days. Any money that cannot be returned should be spent on charitable causes and public welfare, prioritizing those in most need.
