Hi,

Any one can guide me about the entitlement of Gratuity. There is little bit confusion regarding the entitlement of gratuity. When an employee will be entitled for Gratuity? After the completion of five year or completion of more that 4 year and six month? If I am not wrong there is Karnataka High court judgment also in this regards and as per this judgment an employee will be entitled for gratuity after the completion of 4 years and six month. I need your view in this regard.

Thanks & Best Regards

Dear
We do not have any objection if any of the employer gives gratuity payment on completion of 4 years & six months service.If there is any judgement then send it to the employer along with the claim for gratuity.

Hi,
As per Gratuity Act, employee has to complete 5 years of service in the same establishment / factory. then only he was eligible. and one more thing if u have karnataka high court judgement, post here and share with our HR professional.

Hi,
I have a doubt... in the appointment letters of our company we mention the following
Provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act will be applicable in case of your retirement or death.
does that mean that only in case of retirement or death gratuity will be payable....???? if yes then can a employer specify such clauses...

Dear Neha,
When the payment is to be made as per the Act itself then there is no need of mentioning anything in the appointment letter but if you wish to give more favorable amount then we must specify while finalizing the terms & conditions of employment.If at all if we put such conditions which are contrary to law then those conditions are to be treated as null & void.Go through the Payment of Gratuity act, 1972 if applicable to your establishment & adhere to the provisions as provided in this law.

Thanks Mr. Khola for resolving my query. that means its useless to specify in case of retirement or death. even if person completes 5 yrs then too the employee is eligible for gratuity. Regards Neha

Dear Neha, Of course. Five years of continuous service as per section 2A of the P G Act, 1972.
From India, Delhi
You are correct. On completion of continous 4 yrs 6 mths service, employee is entitled for Gratuity. Madras high Court judgement is available in this regard.
