Resigning Soon? Do You Need to Tell HR to Use Your Earned Leaves for Notice Period?

While resigning, is it necessary to inform the company to adjust the notice period against earned leaves, or will it be done by default?

If there is a specific notice clause in the contract of employment, it is mandatory that the employee should serve the entire notice period or request permission for buy-out. Only in such a situation, the employee can make a request for adjustment of the number of EL at credit against the notice period either in full or in part.

Again, encashment of EL on termination is a matter subject to the provisions of the Labor Law of the country or the terms of the contract of employment. Noteworthy is the fact that in such a situation, it is the discretion of the employer as a superior party to the contract to accept or turn down such a request.
