Carrying Forward and Encashment of PL/EL
PL/EL can be carried forward based on company policy, as the act is silent on this matter. Employees who leave the company may be able to encash their PL/EL. Generally, companies maintain a minimum balance of 30 days, but there is no specific rule for this. The company can decide the PL limit based on its policy, as approved by the management.
Ideally, if you align the PL limit with the notice period duration, it would be beneficial for the company.
