Under Tamil Nadu Act, the employees can carry forward or accumulate forty five days' earned leave. The leave applied for, if any, refused by the employer shall be counted over and above this forty five days. Any unavailed earned leave at the time of discharge/ termination of employment shall be encashed by him.
Encashment of leave during the service is an employee benefit and as such there is no legal violation if the employer permits employees to encash leave while they are in service.
