Dear HR Aspirants,

This is Shekhar working in an automobile manufacturing company in Noida.

I have a query regarding the calculation of gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. If an employee completes 8 years, 6 months, and 0 days of continuous service, how should I calculate the total number of years of service? Should I consider this as 9 years or 8 years?

Please comment.

If it is 8 yrs and exactly 6 months, then gratuity shall be computed for 8 years only because a fraction of the service will be rounded off to an year if it is in excess of six months.B.Saikumar, ,
