Encash Childcare Leave

I still have unconsumed Childcare Leave after my resignation, can I ask the company to en-cash my Childcare Leave?


Based on Employment Act, if the employment of an employee who is entitled to childcare leave is terminated (whether by resignation or dismissal, upon the completion of his contract of service, or for any other reason) before he has taken the entitlement of childcare leave of 2 days for a relevant period, the employee —
(a) shall cease to be entitled to that leave upon the termination of his employment; and
(b) shall not be entitled to any payment in lieu thereof.

Hence, employee has to consume the Childcare Leave before he/she tendered his resignation. Childcare Leave cannot be encashed.
