Dear Seniors..! I am very new to HR. I have a doubt in Payment of Bonus eligibility. As per the Payment of Bonus Act 1965, if an employee worked in an organization for thirty days in an accounting year, he/she will be eligible for payment of bonus. So, in this connection, if an employee joined in April and resigned in June, he/she will be eligible. Then we have to pay the payment of bonus to the particular employee. Am I right..? If I am wrong, please correct me by providing your valuable comments. Thanks in advance for your great help.

Bonus becomes payable only after its determination at the close of the relevant accounting year. Therefore, if an employee leaves the establishment in the middle of the accounting year, it is not necessary that proportionate bonus has to be paid along with Full and Final Settlement.

Hi,
You are right. The guidelines of the Payment of Bonus Act are as follows:
1) Eligibility: The employee should have worked for 30 days in a year.
2) Applicability: From the 6th accounting year of the company from the date of commencement OR From the 1st Profit Making Year of the Company.
3) Payable: when BASIC + DA < or = Rs. 10,000
If all the above are met, then you have to bonus even if the employee has worked only 32 days.
