What if an employee joins the company with more than 5 years of experience or 4 years of experience? Let me know the gratuity process in both scenarios:
1) If he has received the gratuity from the previous employer.
2) If he has not received the gratuity from the previous employer.
How to calculate in such cases and when the current employer should pay the gratuity to such an employee.

Dear Madam,
It is surprising that you approach this forum without making any effort yourself to read and understand relevant provisions in the Gratuity Act. Any employee, irrespective of the number of years of past service upon joining you, is not liable to pay gratuity for past service in any other organization. Had you taken the trouble to read the provisions, you would have been enlightened on this.

Appreciate the above suggestion. It is advice for HR, especially young professionals, to be aware of the basic knowledge and features of the subjects concerned. Certainly, seniors in this forum will give appropriate advice on all related issues, but when some are looking for spoon-feeding type answers, it is not justified. Youngsters should learn and grow and should not depend on support all the time. We need to understand that crutches cannot support us for too long unless we attempt to stand on our own legs first.

Dear Miss Vaishali,
The question of payment of gratuity is in respect of service rendered in your establishment. As per your illustration, the employee in question has received gratuity from his first employment consequent to putting 5 years of service. Similarly, in his second employment, he has not received gratuity because he has put in only 4 years of service. Your liability for payment of gratuity arises consequent to the completion of 5 years of service in your establishment.
