Dear
I would like to tell you that, about the compensatory off companies has different policy which must be mentioned in their policy and authorized by management representative and some companies are includes the policy about compensatory off in their Standing Order.
Legally Employee must get a weekly off 7 days or company needs him on seventh day, he/she need to get that off within in next 3 days.
Hence you need to prepare a policy about compensatory off and get authorized by Labour Officer & Management.

There is no law which states to encash any leaves, it is always a policy of the company to compensate for the Leaves which are not given to avail by the employer to their employees.
It is similarly like paying double payment of the wages for working employees on any festival holiday. Last but not the least the wages should be calculated on Gross and not on basic.

Dear Arpit, Compensatory off cannot be encashed, it can only be availed. The practice is that it should be availed within a week and cannot be clubbed with other leaves. Regards, Deepak Vasudevan

Dear Arpit,
If you are talking about workmen, services of them are governed strictly under Labour LAWS. According to provisions under Factories Act,weekly off if not given, then comensatory off is to be given 3 days before or 3 days later also from original offday. If it is C/Off for management staff, then such items with other groceries addressed as per companies' HR Policies. Different policies and no similarity found because they have internal and external factors like you have. I had experience in dealing this complex issue. The encashment of C/Off if allowed then it was observed that facility got gainfully misused by staff in concert . Secondly, the very encashment facilty allowed accumulation of C/ff as it allowed encashment any time during year and at times more than one employees were observed away from work . So instead of c/off giving a practical solution, it stemmed before us with other complex issues. So we decided that C/Off has to be in any case utilized in 4 weeks and if not availed by concerned gentlemen then it will lapse automatically .

There is short route for encashment. In exceptional cases where the estt. wish to assist the sincere, dedicated employees who contribute more than 100%, who cannot be allowed to utilise the C.off days, can permit crediting those days to EL/PL a/c so that these days does not elapses. Thus indirectly help these guys gain monetary benefits by encashing thru' this route. However there is no hard and fast rule in respect of comp.off days earned and to utilise or non utilisation thereof.
