How to release the salary that has been withheld

Organizations are responsible for paying their employees' salaries periodically, as per statutory requirements. However, in certain situations where an employee is absent or in the notice period, the employer may decide to hold their salary. In such cases, the employer must release the salary in a later month, either as arrears or as regular salary. Keka offers the option to choose how to release the held salary.
