Respected learned seniors,
I do have a query as an HR personnel in my last company from where I have resigned on 08/05/2024 and joined a new one. The previous company is a non profitable organization (Eye Hospital) controlled by a group of monks and is a type of NGO.

The query is related to gratuity payment eligibility where my senior always insisted I pay gratuities to resigned/retired staff members from the day when he/she is selected under a contractual role and not from the date they were selected under a trainee or probationary role. I have tried to convince my senior many a times that Gratuity depends upon continuous service without break (where probation/contract/permanent does not matter) but myself being a HR personnel, had to calculate my own gratuity from contractual date itself and submitted the same for approval, whereby, by doing so, I had to forego a good amount of my Gratuity amount. In addition to an application, I have also submitted Form I for the claim (They were unware of Form I although) but more one month has passed, I am still yet to receive the same.

Your valuable advice whether I am correct / wrong, is required.

Hi,

You can follow up with them for Gratuity payment through phone / by person. In case of extraordinary delay or if no proper response then you may appeal before Assistant Commissioner of Labour of your last company jurisdiction.

Yes you are right - For the purpose of Gratuity calculation it should be calculated from day one of joining and you can raise this as well before Assistant Commissioner of Labour.
