Full and Final Settlement

Full and Final Settlement commonly known as the FnF process is done when an employee is leaving the organization. At this time, the employee has to get paid for the last working month + any additional earnings or deductions. The procedure has to be carried out by the employer after the employee resigns from their services. The procedure of paying and recovering during the resignation process is called the Final Settlement of the employee. You can relieve the employee first and then do the FnF OR do the final settlement first then relieve the employee. It depends on your company policy. The major components of FnF are:

Unpaid Salary

Unpaid salary includes annual benefits such as LTA (leave travel allowance) and arrears or any salary held due to certain reasons.

Leave Encashment

Unpaid leave dues should be paid by or before the 7th and 10th of the following month of resignation. Payment for non-availed leaves (earned or privilege leave) has to be calculated based on company policy. So, the different options for leave encashment are:

Per day Basic (Or Basic + DA OR other components)
Fixed amount defined by the company

Major Components that are part of the Full & Final Settlements (number of days of non-availed leaves * basic salary) / 26 days ( Avg paid days in a month). For e.g., If an employee has 25 earned leaves which are not availed and basic salary = 5000, then the encashed amount will be (25*5000)/26 = Rs. 4807 Gratuity As per Section 7 (3) of the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, Gratuity should be offered within 30 days of the resignation. If you fail to do so you need to pay with interest. Deductions Deductions include PF, ESI, PT (if applicable), Income Tax, and Compensation for Notice Period not served. Gratuity and encashed earned leave are exempt from tax deducted at source (TDS) as per Income Tax Act. All other payments attract TDS under Section 192 of the Income Tax Act.
