Hello everyone,

I have a query related to leave encashment. I left my previous organization 19 days prior to completing one year. Hence, I am told by my employer that I am not eligible for leave encashment. It would be of great help if any member of this forum can guide me on how to get my leave encashment amount.

Thank you

After the completion of one year of service, an employee is eligible to receive credit for earned leave. If you leave the job before completing one year, they may refuse to credit the leave. Additionally, if you do not have any leave available in your credit, how would you be able to encash it?

According to the Shop & Establishment Act, an employee who works for 20 days in a month is entitled to one day of earned leave. However, this earned leave will only be credited to their account after completing one year of service to utilize as per the rules set by the company or organization.

In case an employee resigns or leaves their job before the completion of one year, they will be eligible to receive the earned leave that is accumulated to their account, which can be encashed to them. The one-year completion rules are implemented by organizations to minimize absenteeism.

For giving credit, service of one year or 12 months is mandatory. Once completed 12 months or 240 days, obviously, one will get credit of 12 days or one day for every 20 days worked in the preceding year is what is provided under most of the Shops Act. Please refer to your state Shops Act for clarification.
