Please note, the earned leave (EL) carried forward is restricted to 30 days under the prevailing labor laws unless provisioned at higher numbers in Certified Standing Orders.

Secondly, while making encashment of earned leave, the gross wage is not considered. The gross wage is taken into account when someone avails the EL. In your case, after deduction of the notice period if provided in the appointment letter, you are liable to pay for the balance EL.

1-month notice period means 4th January 2017 till 3rd February 2017. The last day of working is the 21st of January 2017. Therefore, the shortfall of the notice period is from the 22nd of January to the 3rd of February, which is 13 days. The balance leave is 33 days. Subtracting the shortfall of the notice period (13 days), the encashable leave is 20 days.

The concerned employee is eligible for 21 days of full salary for January 2017, with all statutory deductions applicable, and 20 days of leave encashment as per your company policy.
