Ideally, leave encashment should be calculated on all wage heads except those linked with attendance, such as canteen subsidies, where the allowance is calculated on a pro-rata basis. The Factories Act does not provide for encashment. The provisions related to encashments are governed by standing orders or agreements with unions or works committees.
