Navigating Notice Periods: Can I Use My Leave Days Before I Exit?

Dear Seniors, if I give resignation with a one-month notice period, can I take leave during that period? I have both PL and CL.

[QUOTE=sayantanee86;1629907] Dear Seniors, If I give resignation with a 1-month notice period, can I take leave during that period? I have PL & CL. Regards, This depends on company policy, and you can avail only one or two CL/SL, not long leave.

Leave Policy During Notice Period

One cannot take any leave during the Notice Period unless for emergency reasons. If taken, the Notice Period has to be extended equivalent to the period of leave taken. The purpose of the Notice Period is for a smooth transition, and one cannot have the right to avail of the accumulated outstanding leaves during the Notice Period. Those unavailed leaves will be encashed during the Full and Final settlement.

Please do not take leave during the notice period. In some companies, they may extend your notice period according to the shortfall of the notice period (30 days). Some companies do not sanction the leave. If you state valid reasons, most employers may suspect that you are planning to work in your new company during this leave period, and they may treat you poorly.

It is better to keep the PL unavailed because you will receive the PL encashment for the balance leave and also leave earned for the current year. Alternatively, you can compensate or surrender your PL and quit the company earlier, as you prefer.

This information is from my side.

Many companies nowadays have a policy of a 1-month notice period, during which no leaves should be availed, especially long leaves such as PL. However, if you have balance CLs, you can take them on a prorated basis. For example, if you have 8 casual leaves in a year and you are leaving in the month of September, calculate the leaves you can take as follows:

Until September, 273 * 8 / 365 = 5.9, which rounds up to 6 leaves. If you have exceeded this limit, the excess leaves shall be deducted from your full and final settlement.

Can anyone tell me whether an employee working for less than 6 months and not confirmed is eligible for PL leave encashment?

Notice Period and Leave Policies

The notice period is completely dependent on company rules, mainly your relationship with your manager and HR. If it is okay, you can use the notice period in the way you like. However, if there is a concern with the manager/HR rules, then you will have to serve the notice period as stipulated. In my last organization, HR insisted on me giving a 3-month notice period without leave. If a leave is taken, the notice period will be extended for those many days.

Nobody can stop a person from availing leave. It does not mean that when you are in the notice period, you cannot take leave. The person can take leave, and the leave taken during the notice period is to be adjusted against their PL/EL.

It depends on company policies. Most companies don't allow leaves during the notice period; however, some companies permit the use of paid leave.

You can avail leave during your notice period. However, you need the permission of your reporting boss and HR because the notice period is primarily for handing over responsibilities and completing assigned tasks. If you are unavailable, your notice period may be extended. I recommend refraining from taking any leave during this period. Your accumulated leave will be encashed. Always aim to leave the organization on a positive note.

Leave Policy During Notice Period

As per common practice, companies do not allow employees to avail of leaves during the notice period. This is done to ensure a complete handover from the employee. If an employee takes leave, it is treated as Leave Without Pay (LWP).

It varies based on the HR policies of the organization as well.

He is eligible for PL leave encashment. Even CLs can also be eligible for PL encashment because everybody will come under the worker cadre as per the Factory Act.

You can take leave. Check with your HR department since it's more a matter of company tradition—some of them even permit you to leave that much earlier.

You have every right to consume your leave even during the notice period, provided the management sanctions your leave. However, leave can be refused by the management in the exigency of service.

Dear Seniors, If someone gives a resignation while on probation, are they required to serve a notice period? Can anyone tell me if an employee working for less than 12 months and not yet confirmed is eligible for PL leave encashment?

Dear Sayantanee, it depends on the company's standing orders and policies. You have to give one month's notice to smoothly hand over the charge to the next in-charge. If you take leave for 30 days and say that you will not come to work as you have 30 days of PL in your account, most companies encash the PL based on the basic salary, and the notice pay deduction will be from the full wages/salary. Therefore, no employer will likely allow that.

It's best to reach out to your HR and inquire about this issue. Please note that you can only avail of CLs and not PL. If your manager is supportive, there are a few cases where no notice period is required.
