Hi,
I served with an organization for 5 years 8 months and since there were many organisational structure changes going on and I decided to move on and tendered my resignation. Notice period policy says 90 days but I had asked for 60 days notice period and also reduced it further to 48 days and that was as per discussion with COO who was fine for me to go earlier. I kept asking the HR to give me an estimate of the final settlement breakup but I never got it and directly got payout in my account. That included 1 months salary and Gratuity and company had recovered 15 days of notice period as that was the shortfall after the revised release date. The remaining I had compensated with my leaves.
HR tells me that the leaves which were considered towards the notice period will not be paid.
I want help from the forum to understand how is this fair and logical.
Thanks & Regards,

Yes, the position is that either you serve the notice period and get paid for it as well as for the leave in your credit or the leave in balance is adjusted against the notice period and you are not paid for it. So, in lieu of working for so many days, you are surrendering the leave See, it is, you cannot have the cake and eat it too, you cannot have both.

Thanks KK for your reply, expected reply from HR. I am still not convinced as organisation doesnt allow leaves to be taken during notice period, doesnt compensate for leave above 5 leaves and doenst pay if they consider it against notice period. I agree its in lieu of the shortfall but still it isnt a favour done towards the employee. The employee has earned his leave and ought to be paid for that. Unfortunately the policies and procedures affect employees more.
