I resigned at the previous company I was working for and my last day was on the 15th. According to my contract I had to give 2 weeks notice so I sent an email to my director on a Friday (the 1st) but due to connectivity issues at the company it wasn't delivered. The week of the 4th our region was going to go to the head office for the whole week, due to come back on Thursday night, for some year end thing so I talked to my director then (Monday the 4th) and he was happy. I resent the letter that same Monday just so he has a copy. Anyway according to my payslip end of October I had 16.77 leave days due to me. 25th of this month I only got paid for the 11 days that I worked in the month and my leave pay was not included. When I asked I was told I will get it end of the month it can't be paid out with my salary because of tax purposes (that's a first). Today I follow up and the finance lady tells me I only have 11 days leave and they will only pay me for 10 days because it is company policy. Now what I wanna know is what happened to my 5.77 days as I never took leave during my notice period? Secondly is a company allowed to have its own policy that isn't inline with the department of labour conditions of employment act since they say they only pay for 10 days? I'm puzzled here and need clarification.
