“Unused leave gets paid out” is half true. The statute's default is that it lapses and payment is the exception — and the number you divide by, 209, appears in no statute at all.

You counted on “a year worked, so fifteen days” and eleven arrived. It is not an error: finish exactly one year and the fifteen days never come into existence.

Enter a hire date and a reference date and you get both the days accrued and what the unused ones are worth. The sharpest split is leaving after exactly one year: 11 days against 26, decided by a single day.

Knowing “one year, 15 days” gets you halfway. The statute sets the counting rule, the expiry condition, and the written procedure that lets a company owe you nothing — in three separate places.
