Employee entitled to get salary for unused leaves

The leave salaries so accrued shall be payable even after termination of employment contract and shall be part of the end-of-service entitlements.
All employees are entitled to receiving salaries for the number of days of leave which was not availed by them. The leave salaries so accrued shall be payable even after termination of employment contract and shall be part of the end-of-service entitlements. This is in accordance with the provisions of Article 79 of the Labour Law which states: "A worker who is dismissed or who leaves his job after the period of notice prescribed by law shall be paid for any accrued annual leave days. Such payment shall be calculated on the basis of the worker's wage as on the date when the leave became due."
The entitlement for an air ticket shall depend on the policy of your employer, as there is no clear provision on the same. If your employer had specifically agreed on providing an air ticket for your annual leave, then you may claim for it. However, it may be noted that at the end of the employment, the cost for repatriation of the employee is required to be borne by the employer. This is in accordance with the provisions of Article 131 of the Labour Law which states as follows: "Upon expiry of contract, the employer shall bear the cost of the worker's repatriation to his point of hire or to any other point that was mutually agreed upon. Where a worker joins another employer upon expiry of his contract, the latter shall bear the cost of the worker's repatriation at the end of his service.
