Leave encashment is a benefit offered by an employer to its employees, where by an employee can accumulate his/ her leave over a period of time. The accumulated leave is paid in lump sum to employees or their dependants on retirement, death, disablement, voluntary retirement etc., in accordance with guidelines framed by the employer. Employee exits are uncertain which can lead you to major adverse cash flow situations. Hence it is prudent for you as an employer to setup a leave encashment fund to meet these future payments from time to time.
This can be best achieved by opting to contribute to the ICICI Prudential's Group Leave Encashment plan, which can help you meet your Leave Encashment liability.
