Confused About My Notice Period Salary Deduction – Can Anyone Help Clarify?

kapilbajaj041
I have some queries about my notice period salary. I was receiving a salary of 18,000 (17,220 in hand + 780 PF), and I gave a 15-day notice to the company from 3rd Sep '14 to 17th Sep '14. This means I worked for 17 days in the company, and my 6 PL was left in my account. Consequently, the company will deduct 9 days' salary from my basic salary.

Could you please inform me about the salary I would receive from the company?

According to your statement, you are required to give one month's notice to obtain acceptance of your resignation. However, you only provided a notice period of 15 days for your resignation. Have you orally informed the management about this? Typically, the notice period in any organization is one, two, or three months. In some cases, an employee wishing to resign should specify in the resignation letter the number of days they intend to work during the notice period. The management may then adjust any unavailed Earned Leave balance towards the shortfall in the notice period, or the employee may receive payment in lieu of the shortfall. If the management does not agree to the proposed arrangement, where part of the notice period is worked and the remaining period is adjusted, it can become a complicated issue for the employee.

Regarding Earned Leave Salary

Earned leave salary refers to the gross salary and not just the basic as mentioned earlier. The principle is that when applying for earned leave, one receives the gross salary and not just the basic. Similarly, if the management seeks to recover payment for a 9-day shortfall in notice, they will deduct 9 days' gross salary from your pay.

In any case, it is advisable to seek clarification on the above issues from your HR department and take the necessary steps.

If you want to get ELs encashed, that would involve a different calculation. Encashment of EL would be done on your Basic Salary, i.e., Basic/26 * No. of ELs left. Alternatively, if you want to get relieved before the notice period by compensating/selling your ELs to the company, that can be possible on mutual agreement between you and the company. However, the ultimate decision will be with management.
