FAQs

What is the significance of selling leave value?

Selling leave value is important for employees who wish to convert their unused leave days into monetary compensation. It provides an option for employees to benefit financially from leave days they choose not to take.

How does the base pay affect the selling leave value?

The base pay significantly influences the selling leave value calculation. A higher base pay results in a higher selling leave value for the same number of leave days, as the formula involves dividing the base pay by 30 and then multiplying by the days of leave.

Is there a limit to the number of leave days one can sell?

Yes, most organizations have policies in place that limit the number of leave days an employee can sell back. These limits are designed to ensure employees take necessary rest and do not sell back all their leave days for financial gain.

Can the selling leave value formula be used for any type of leave?
