Oh yeah - these are very specific questions and need a bit of work to ensure proper answers are provided (unless one is an HR professional familiar with Bahrain Labour Law). I called a friend of mine in HR and this is what they said for each of these questions:

1) Per Bahrain Labout Law, sick leave is not available during the probation period. Any leave taken has to be taken off the annual leave entitlement or as no-pay leave. However, each organization and/or manager is at liberty to provide sick leave during probation, at their own discretion.

2) Leave equivalent is calculated based on basic salary.

3) Final settlement is calculated based on full compensation (basic salary plus allowances).

Good luck!
