Not required as he has not completed his 5 years of services. As a HR person, you can suggest him to complete another few days service and take the eligibility for benefit. Regards, Vikram

As per the Gratuity Act, an employee becomes eligible for gratuity if they complete 5 years of continuous employment or part thereof in excess of six months. This employee is eligible for gratuity. Kindly include the same in the F&F.

Dear Deepak,
As per the act, if a person has worked for 240 days, including holidays, then it will be assumed as a complete year. In your case, the person has worked around four years and 10 months, which is sufficient to be calculated as five years. There is a rule that gratuity is payable after 5 years, but there are situations and conditions besides this. For simple understanding, in normal cases, if a person has worked for 8 years and 9 months, then we are paying gratuity equivalent to 9 years. So, why not in this case? Please pay him.

Hi Deepak,
I want to tell you that GRATUITY is only applicable when an employee has completed 5 years. If he/she has not completed 5 years of his service, then he is not applicable for gratuity. After 5 years, if he/she has completed another 6 months, then that would count as the 6th year of their service. If he/she has not completed the additional 6 months, then he/she would be counted as only having 5 years of service. I am sending you an attachment with this mail.
I hope this can help you.

Yes, every company has its way of calculating gratuity. For example, in my company, we pay gratuity according to a monthly percentage of the employee's stay in the company.
- For service less than 24 months: nil
- For service of 25 months to 36 months: 25% of gross salary
- For service of 37 to 48 months: 50% of gross salary
- For service of 49 months and over: 100% of gross salary

Dear friend,
Gratuity is applicable, although he has not completed continuous service of 5 years. If an employee completes 4 years + 240 days of continuous service, gratuity is to be paid, considering it as completion of 5 years of service.

Dear All,
Please suggest regarding the Gratuity.
I joined an organization on 08.05.2000, and my name was added to the payroll after 6 months. I resigned from that organization in February 2006. When I asked for Gratuity, the HR Manager replied that there was no provision made for that period, so they were unable to provide it.
I then asked for my service certificate from the HR AGM, and he provided a Gratuity certificate for the period from 5th May 2000 to February 2006, with a note on good conduct.
With that service certificate, I sent a notice through MY ADVOCATE. However, the same AGM replied that I had not worked for more than 4 years and that my claims were settled.
How can the same person make contradictory statements?
At the time of my resignation, my salary was 5500/- per month.
The ADVOCATE suggested that since my claim amount was below 10000/-, I should consider deciding what action to take on my own, or write a letter to the Labor Commissioner regarding these issues.
If I ask for interest and a bonus on that amount, how much will I receive?
How should I proceed in fighting with the previous employer, considering the advocate costs approximately 3000/-? The employer is also an MLA.
Please suggest.

Gratuity is payable to employee... If you make delayed payment you have to pay the interest on the eligible gratuity at the rate priviling at that time.
