Leave Encashment [Thread 248178]

yuvadhana
Can you anybody suggest how the leave encashment will be calculated if any employee salary has been raised at end of the year say salary has been change in March. Does the leave encashment is caluclated on current basic or it should be pro-rated for 11 months in old basic and one month in current basic?

Hi Yuvadhana,

If your company's Leave Type happens to be " Paid / Previleged / Earned Leave" then there comes the concept of Leave Encashment. Generally, during the begining of the financial year, the employees are credited with all types of leaves entitled for that particular financial year and the employee is allowed by the employer (based on the company's policy) to accumulate their "Paid / Priveleged / Earned Leaves" only to a specific capping limit. So, if the number of leaves accumulated by an employee exceeds the capping limit; then the amount are encashed for the number of units that has exceeded the capping limit.

For Example;

Employee Name - Reshma

Grade - II A

Department - Finance

Leave Types Entitled - PL (Paid Leave): 24 days a year, LTA (Travel Leave): 12 days a Year, ML (Maternity Leave): 84 days a year

Leaves until March 2010 - PL : 65 days, LTA : 0, ML : 84 days

PL Capping Limit for Grade II A - 60 days

Leave Entitlement for April 2010 - March 2011:

PL (Paid Leave): 24 days a year, LTA (Travel Leave): 12 days a Year, ML (Maternity Leave): 84 days a year

Leave Entitlement for Reshmi for the Period April 2010 - March 2011:

LTA : 12 days

ML : 84 days

PL allowed = 24 days (Current year entitlement) + 65 days (carry over from the previous year accumulations) = 89 days

But PL Capping Limit happens to 60 days

So number of encashable PL unit happens to be 89-60 = 29 units

And PL becomes 60 days.

Now for the Calculation Part,

For the 29 units,

Leave Encashment rule happens to be 29 * Current Month's i.e., April's (Basic + DA)/30; DA = 0 for those who don't have DA.

But the Capping limit may vary as per the policy of the company.

In case of Resignation, the number of encashable units eligible are calculated based on the proration logic on the number of leaves allowed this year. But in all case, according to me the leaves are encashed based on the current month's basic / Current month's Basic + DA.

Leave Encashment = Current Month's Basic / 26 * No. of leaves to be encashed
The total no. of leaves to be encashed depends upon the Leave Policy of an organization.
In general, an employee is entitled for the encashment of his Earned Leaves.
I hope I made my point clear.
