I am working in Pvt. ltd. co. One of our employees gave resignation notice on 18.11.09. At that time, her leave balance was 26 days. She submitted her leave application as the leave balance was 26 days. Management never sanctioned her application & put it on hold. But without permission from the management, she left the office on 20.11.09. She never completed her notice period & now she is asking for leave encashment of 26 days & 18 days Dec 09 salary. Otherwise, she will fight it legally. Management's opinion is she had surrendered her leave. We need help in this matter.
