Hi users,

Can somebody tell me if the earned leave encashment calculation will be done based on basic + DA or gross wages? Is it Basic + DA or Gross wages / 26 * number of PL?

Another question I have is regarding overtime calculation. Will it be based on basic + DA or gross wages? Is it Basic DA or Gross wages / 26 / 8 * twice the working hours?

Please clear this doubt.

Thanks

Dear Vikas,

As per the law, the EL to be encashed on Basic + DA, it's compulsory for the purpose of compliance. Now, if we talk about the EL encashment, it depends on company policy, meaning varies from company to company. If an employer wants to pay on the gross salary, then he can, but our minimum requirement to follow proper compliance is (Basic + DA).

In the organizations, most of us encash on Basic + DA only. The detail of the calculation is as follows:

Basic + DA / 26) * no. of PL

Or if on Gross, then (Gross Salary / 26) * no. of PL.

EL Calculation:
(Basic + DA / 26) * no. of PL
(10000 / 26) * 10 = 3846

Overtime Calculation: We calculate it based on Gross Wages, to be computed on a monthly basis and paid at double the rate.
OT Calculation = ((Gross Salary / month days) / working hours) * Number of OT hours
