How Can I Resolve My Leave Encashment Issue with My Former Employer?

Hi, I have been working with one of the Big 4 firms, and it has been 30 days since I was relieved from the company. I received a Full and Final (F&F) statement from the company in which my leave encashment is showing zero. I had a leave balance of 15 days when I left the company.

I have communicated the same to HR, and they have informed me that my reporting manager marked my last 15 days as leave since he has the access to do so. There is no reason that he is able to substantiate, and he is just trying to postpone, saying he is busy and cannot respond to calls or emails. HR is responding to the emails; however, they are saying that it has to be discussed with the reporting manager and sorted out (I have completely served my notice period).

Can someone please help me as to what should be done in this case?

Hi,

HR is the face of the employer, and after the exit, HR has to clarify this. You could have checked this with HR at the time of signing the full and final settlement copy. Some employers credit leave on a six-month basis in advance. It might be a recovery of excess leave credited to your leave account. Please check with your HR.
