The accrual of privilege leave or earned leave, as the case may be, as per the leave provisions of any State Shops and Establishments Act would commence only on the completion of 12 months' service by the employee in the same establishment. Therefore, an employee leaving service within a year is not eligible for PL/EL encashment.

Dear Kamesh,

EL/PL is entirely different from other kinds of leave since its accrual and availing become effective only in the succeeding year or years based on the employee's attendance or completion of continuous service of 12 months in the current year. Besides, the unavailed portion of the EL/PL pertaining to a particular year can be carried forward to the next years subject to the ceiling prescribed and can be encashed at the time of termination of service. Since other kinds of leave like sick leave, casual leave are lapsable in the year to which they pertain, eligibility for claim in respect of temporary employees/probationers can be determined in proportion to their length of service rendered.

Hi,

Encashment of privilege leave totally depends on the company's policy. If an employee leaves after a year and the company's rule states 'encashment of privilege leave,' then the particular employee's leave should be encashed.
