Leave encashment

Hi, An company making payout on basic salary for leave encashment of maximum 30 days at the time of resignation/retirement of employee and balance leave got lapse if any. Also, they have another policy for notice pay recovery where company consider gross salary for calculation of any notice pay recovery.

Is there any rule or case on leave encashment done for the leave beyond 30 days and calculation done on gross salary instead of basic salary? Any suggestion in support of the given case, Pl help.



Quick Summary
This discussion explores company policies regarding leave encashment, specifically when an employee resigns or retires. The current policy allows encashment of a maximum of 30 days' basic salary, with any remaining leave lapsing. The user is seeking information on whether rules exist for encashing leave beyond 30 days or calculating this on gross salary, rather than just basic salary, and if private limited company policies can be superseded by specific rulings.

Leave encashment rule of the company has to be perused before forming an opinion and oblige.

However, central civil services rules provide for accumulation of leave of 300 days for encashment

Thanks Vashista sir for reply.

It is a private limited company and central civil service rule are for public servent or govt employee. Is this rule apply to private limited company or not. 

Also, is pvt Ltd company policy prevail over and any section or ruling for pvt ltd employee will be helpful.

The leave encashment policy differs from company to company, and the rules vary. Some companies usually pay for the leaves taken, or some adjust them in the next calendar year. However, the amount of unavailed leaves and bonuses must be settled by the 7th or 10th of the following month after resignation, according to the 1948 Factories Act.
