It Depends actually on the circumstances. We generally give leaves. If the leaves are not granted in any case, the company is going to encash the same at the time of full & final settlement. If you think from another point of view, i.e. when an employee needs to serve 30 days notice and he simply serves 15 days notice, then in that case we deduct his 15 days salary (depending upon the terms & condition of the appointment lettre), but at the same time, we give him encashment at his Full & final settlement. thus, whichever way we go, employee gets the benefit. Thus, giving leave is not a problem, which actually depends upon the circumstances. Sometimes the environment created by the employee concerned is not condusive for the organisation and sometime organisation does not like the employee that is organisation wants to terminate him, and at the same time, employee submits the resignation alongwith his leaves requirement, and the mgmt sanctions it. Thus, I personally feel it depends upon the circumstances. If i am wrong, please correct me...............
