Using your unused AND earned annual leave to offset resignation notice is at the discretion of your employer/manager. Actually there's no need for a specific company policy because annual leave itself is already subject to manager's approval ie. you cannot take annual leave whenever you want.

Of course, as someone mentioned, if the company does not allow you to use your annual leave as an offset, they have to pay you compensation for it... and it's salary PLUS epf.

You can also demand for your final paycheck to be handed to you or banked into your account on the last day of service. That's because you are no longer an employee after 5pm on your last day, and any payroll policies that used to apply to you in the past no longer does. Your relationship with your company becomes creditor (you) and debtor (your company). And as a creditor, you can demand immediate payment of any amounts due to you (ie. your last paycheck and any expense or out-of-pocket claims yet unpaid).

In my last resignation, I hung on to my company laptop and the company information within it for 2 days while the company rushed to prepare my last paycheck (issue due to centralised accounts payable). So my exit interview and return of company property occurred only 2 days after my official last day.
