Can I Use My Paid Leave During Notice Period Without Facing Issues?

I want some information. I have resigned from my job and served a one-month notice period. My manager has accepted this, but they replied via email stating that during the notice period, no leave is allowed except for weekends. They mentioned that any absence beyond weekends would lead to disciplinary action and could affect the full and final settlement.

Please advise if I can use my PL/CL or not.

Thanks and regards,

When I left my job years ago, after working for 5 years, I was told the same in a government job. I accepted that, although I had accumulated 90+ days of earned leave, and was released without any problems.

Leave Accumulation and Notice Period

Please provide more details about how much leave you have accumulated. Let me also pose a question: Is it ethical or right for someone to give a one-month notice and then take one month of leave, thereby putting the company in trouble to meet its deadlines with their clients?

It's obvious that a few companies follow this rule because, as Nashbrammal has said, nobody would like to take up the risks of meeting the deadlines of the exiting employee. In case your situation is genuine, such as sickness or something similar, it can be considered with the approval of your HOD. Please cooperate and coordinate with HR because even they are also employees and are simply doing their job.

Hi, thank you for your replies. Sir, I want to take only 3 days of leave as I have an exam. Due to this, I am submitting my resignation. Initially, I provided a 15-day notice, but they refused to provide salary, clear dues, or issue an experience letter. Subsequently, I extended my notice period to one month. Now, they are informing me that no leave will be granted except for the weekly off.

Thank you.
