Yes, the program is correct — when the salary is raised during vacation, part of the vacation pay needs to be recalculated. This is not a database error, but a requirement of labor legislation.

How it works

The rule is simple: if the salary raise occurs right during the period when the employee is on vacation, the vacation pay is split into two parts:

- Vacation days before the raise date — do not need to be recalculated, they remain calculated based on the old salary and the old base (12 months through February inclusive).

- Vacation days after the raise date — must be recalculated taking into account the new salary, i.e. with indexation.

Example based on your situation

Let's say the vacation runs from March 27 to April 3, and the salary is raised as of April 1. Then:

- March 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 — paid at the old salary (old calculation, unchanged);

- April 1, 2, 3 — paid at the new salary, taking into account the raise.

It is important to accurately determine the date from which the new salary applies — this determines how many vacation days fall under the recalculation and how many remain based on the old base.

What to do in 1C

Since the program is requesting a recalculation — this is expected behavior consistent with the law. You need to confirm the recalculation of the part of the vacation days that falls within the period after the salary raise, leaving the days before the raise unchanged.

Frequently asked questions:

Do I need to recalculate the entire vacation if the salary was raised in the middle of it?

No, only the part of the days falling within the period after the raise date is recalculated. The days before the raise remain as they are.

What if the salary was raised not from the beginning of the month, but, for example, from the 15th?

The principle is the same — what matters is the exact date from which the new salary applies. Vacation days before this date — under the old calculation, days after — under the new one.
