What is Full and Final (F&F) Settlement?
Full and Final (F&F) Settlement is the comprehensive reconciliation process conducted upon an employee resignation or termination to clear all dues, unpaid salaries, leave encashment, gratuity, and asset recoveries.
Detailed Explanation
F&F encompasses payroll reconciliation for working days in the final month, encashment of accumulated unavailed privileged leaves, gratuity payout (if eligible), bonus allocations, recovery for unserved notice period days, loan balances, and company asset handovers (laptops, access cards).
