They are part of the agreement with employees; hence, they can avail their benefits irrespective of whether they are continuing or leaving your employment. So, they can avail them.

Understanding Leave Accrual During Notice Period

Notice period (NP) is an established provision that requires either party to inform the other in advance of the intended separation. During this period, any type of leave that is accrued and due can be availed or encashed as per the organization's leave policy. This includes adjusting the leave in lieu of the notice period when leaving.

It is important to note that any type of leave continues to accrue during the notice period, as this period is considered a continuation of the employment relationship until the date of relieving or the last working day. I hope this clarifies the situation.

Since you will be working during the notice period, pro-rata leave for the notice period should be added to your balance. The entire leave wages should include the opening balance, pro-rata leave on the broken period prior to issuing notice, and pro-rata leave for the notice period worked. These components should be included in your Full and Final (F&F) settlement.

Guys, please explain clearly and directly, without beating around the bush.

First, you must always explain what type of organization you are working for and where it is located, as the answer to your question depends on that. It also depends on the kind of employee you are talking about, your internal HR rules, and your standing orders.

Leave Records Under the Factory Act

Under the Factory Act, you are required to update the leave records in January of each year with the number of days credited depending on the number of days worked. So if your notice period was any time after January, there is no question of leaves being added to the record for the notice period. If your notice period was partly in December, then it would count, as the number of leave credited would depend on the number of days worked in the previous year, and notice period days are also a part of "days worked."

However, you need to check if your standing orders have any specific requirements on this matter.
