Hi, Experts, I have worked in a company in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) for 11 years and 6 months before resigning with a 1-month notice as per the clause in my appointment letter. Besides my pending salary, medical, LTA, and gratuity, they are refusing to pay my Leave Encashment amount.
I have been informed by the HR team that there is no legal obligation on the employer; it is solely at their discretion to pay it or not. They also mentioned that due to the company's financial condition not being ideal, they are unable to pay the Leave Encashment amount.
Could you please advise me if this is correct or not? Can I take any legal action if there is a rule in labor laws that supports my claim? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards, Aman Kumar Dubey
