Full & Final Settlement

When an employee is leaving an organization, he/she has to get paid for last working month. This procedure of paying during the resignation process is called Final Settlement. It can be done on the last working payroll month or subsequent months. Either an employee can be settled first and then go ahead with the resignation or an employee can resign first and then move to the full and final settlement at a later date.
