Compensatory-off, or Comp-off in short, refers to the Leave Adjustment or Encashment of Salary for the Employees for working on any Weekly-offs or on Holidays. 

 
  

Workflow of Comp-off 

   

  • In the ESS portal, the Employee needs to apply for Comp-off for working on a Weekly off or Holiday. 
  • Once the Comp-off is raised by the Employee, an email will be triggered to the respective Reporting Manager (RM). 
  • After the RM approves the Comp-off raised by the Employee, the Employee will get a Compensatory leave credit. 
  • Then the Employee can set off Comp-off as either Leave Adjustment or Encashment.
