I resigned from post of Engineer in a pharmaceutical company after 8 years of service. At the time of leaving I had 136 earned leaves in balance, but in my full and final settlement, they have paid me only 60 days of leave encashment. When asked about this they said that it is company policy. I know that they do not have any such policy and neither is any such thing mentioned in my appointment letter. They have paid me all other dues like gratuity, bonus, salary etc, but I feel that I have been cheated as they still have to pay 76 days of EL, which amounts to more than 1 lakh Rs.
Please advise me, as to what should I do now? Leave the matter and move on or pursue the matter legally? If I should pursue the matter, how should I go about it as I do not know the procedures?
