You need to specify your return type.

Private Function LeaveCheck(empid As String) As String ' Notice the As String
    Dim rdoRs1 As rdoResultset  
    Dim desc As String  
    Dim sSQL As String  
    sSQL = "Select name from table1 wher empcode = '" & empid & "'"  
    Set rdoRs1 = Rdoconn.OpenResultset(sSQL, rdOpenStatic)  
    If rdoRs1.RowCount > 0 Then  
        desc = rdors1!name          
    End If  
    rdoRs1.Close  

    LeaveCheck = desc ' This will be blank or populated
End Function

Here is a link that is a good read for understanding Functions in VB6

EDIT

After reading your comment, I would create a class to store your values.

Public Class MyClass
    Dim name As String
    Dim dept As String
    Dim country As String
End Class

Then, you can instantiate a new instance of this class inside of your code:

Private Function LeaveCheck(empid As String) As MyClass
    Dim myClass As New MyClass
    Dim rdoRs1 As rdoResultset
    Dim sSQL As String   
    sSQL = "Select name, dept, country from table1 wher empcode = '" & empid & "'"   
    Set rdoRs1 = Rdoconn.OpenResultset(sSQL, rdOpenStatic)   
    If rdoRs1.RowCount > 0 Then   
        myClass.name = rdors1!name           
        myClass.dept = rdors1!dept
        myClass.country = rdors1!country
    End If   
    rdoRs1.Close   

    LeaveCheck = myClass
End Function
