Encashment Of Unavailed Leaves At The Time Of Separation

our company is giving 7 casual & 7 sick leaves each yr. to every employee & sick leaves & compensatory leaves are carry forwaded to nxt yr. if nt availed by employee. i want to know that if a person resigns from job whether he will be eligible for encashment unavailed leaves. is there any legal obligation regarding this.

hw mch leaves one can avail legally if a person resigns from his job & is under one month notice period, if he has unavailed leaves in hand.

Earned leaves are eligible for encashment
and as per management concern employees are eligible for encashment on coffs el and sl leave

Encashment of the leave is often made conditional to the duration of service and maximum limit to which it can be encashed. Please share the complete leave policy at your organization, it would be then easier for us to comment.

There is no provision for sick leave under Factories Act and so far as the Shops and Establishmenst Act is concerned it depends up on the Shops Act of your State. Check with your State Act. So far as my knowledge stetches, Shops Acts of the States provide for encashment of annual leave/earned leave/privilege laeave but not sick leave.Thus it leaves the question to company's policy. If your company's plocy does not provide for encashment of sick leave, you cannot claim it.
