Can I Use All My Remaining Leave Before Resigning from My Job Next Month?

Hi Everyone!!

I would like to clear my doubts here. I wish someone can help me out.

Well, I'm currently working in a company that grants 20 leaves in a year in total. I have currently taken 4 days of leave. Now, I have 16 days of leave left, and I will be resigning from my current job in a month because I have a better opportunity in a different company.

So, will it be possible for me to take the whole leave at one time within this period of my resignation?

Dear AbenKikon, you could have given a little more information about yourself and your company. Are you from India? If not, then you need to follow the labor laws of your country.

Approval of Leave

Secondly, another factor that counts is the approval of leave by your HOD or Manager. What if the law permits, but the Manager does not approve the leave? People may come and go, but company work needs to continue. Managers are predominantly responsible for this. Therefore, talk to your manager and find out the position. Sixteen days is a long period, and it may not be possible for your manager to cope with your absence during the notice period. Until your replacement arrives, your manager may ask you to groom someone else to handle your work. For this, your presence is necessary. Therefore, if the manager does not approve your leave, then check the provisions for leave encashment.

Understanding the Term "Leave"

Lastly, about English grammar. The plural for the word "leave" can be used to describe a part of a plant or tree. The plural is also used to describe detachable plastic sheets used in office folders. To describe employee leave, you need to phrase it as "the number of days of leave."

No company will allow you to take leave during the notice period. However, it is possible to negotiate with your company since you have already trained your replacement.

It is possible that you are eligible for encashment of leave at the end of employment. Check the Shop and Establishment Act of the state where you work.

Hi Aben,

Even though you have been working for your current company for a long time, your employer will hardly allow you to take all days of leave within your resignation process. The HR department often counts days of leave based on the number of working months in this year (except the probation period, of course).

Thank you.
