Earned Leaves when consumed are calculated on Gross Salary basis, however while en cashing the balance EL normally Basic+DA is used as base.

  • Dear Harry,

    EL = Basic + DA/26 * Remaining days, as simple as this. But if an employee is on leave, you deduct the payment from gross, not only from basic, so pay them based on Gross. For you, the formula will be: EL = Gross/26 * remaining days. CL and SL should never be encashed.

    Dear Harry,

    If your question pertains to "workman," the EL should be considered in the Basic+DA+and allowances. In short, the amount he will get (wage for a day) if he avails that leave.

    In the case of non-workmen (executives), the company can have its own policy on whether to pay on Basic only or on the total CTC, depending on the objective - whether you want employees to avail more leaves to help them maintain work-life balance or if you want them to put more days for the company and pay for it to motivate them.

    Hope this helps you.

    Regards,

    (Fact Checked)-The user reply is partially correct. For workmen, EL should be calculated on Basic+DA+allowances. For non-workmen, companies can choose to pay on Basic or total CTC based on policy. (1 Acknowledge point)

  • Dear All: EL is to be encashed on Basic only & not on gross. It is in line with IT Act 1961, wherein exemption is given only on encashment done on Basic. Rgds Dxion, Tata Trent, Pune

    It depends on your policy. If you are allowing strictly as per FA Act, it's one day for every 20 worked days. If it is an establishment in Kerala, there are flat 12 EL for an employee who has worked in the previous year for 240 days. This can be accumulated to 24 days. In factories, this 240-day criteria is also applicable.

  • Dear Colleagues,

    I agree with our seniors that EL/PL Encashment is based on Basic+DA, whether working or ex-employee. In other words, EL/PL = Basic+DA / 26 * No. of Days.

    Additionally, EL/PL availed/leave taken is calculated on Gross Salary, which means an employee working within a company has taken leave(s) for personal exigencies. This calculation is expressed as EL/PL = Gross Salary / 30 * No. of Days.

    I hope I am not mistaken; however, if I am, I kindly request our seniors to correct me and share your knowledge with us.

    Thank you.
