Generally speaking, resigning workers would not be compensated for any unused flex days or sick leave. These perks are usually provided to employees as a means of encouraging them to stay on the job and to give them permission to take unpaid time off for personal or medical needs.

However, certain organisations could have particular guidelines about unused leave for departing staff members. Depending on the company’s policy and your employment contract, this could be a fixed payout, a payout dependent on the amount of earned leave, or even additional benefits. It’s always advisable to review your company’s handbook or speak with HR to find out about their particular resignation policy about unused leave.
