Dear Fraternity Members,
One of our female employees has been on maternity leave for the past 8 months and is now unable to continue her employment. Is she eligible for gratuity? If yes, should the maternity period be counted as continuous service?
P.S: Period of Employment: 7.6 years if her maternity is considered, and 6.10 years if maternity leave is not considered.
Regards,
