Does your company allow leave encashment annually, or do unused leaves strictly lapse?
Anonymous HR Professional · 17 Aug 2026 · india · Technology · 11-50 employees
Organizations take different approaches to year-end unused leaves—some offer full encashment, while others enforce a strict "use-it-or-lose-it" policy to encourage employees to take real time off. We are gathering feedback on which approach balances company liabilities with employee satisfaction.
What they have tried
Evaluated annual encashment payouts, capping carry-forward days at 10, and mandatory minimum time-off policies.
Desired outcome
Practical guidelines for handling year-end leave balance reconciliation without causing end-of-year operational disruptions.
