Gratuity after 4 years 10 months


26-Jul-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Hi, I've resigned from a software company after serving 4 years 10 months with no interruptions on February 2020. The company refusing to pay me gratuity citing I've not completed 5 years. However the gratuity act says 240 days can be considered as an year. How can I legally raise the issue with the company? Thanks Mahadev

An employee completes 4 years and 6 months of continuous service in the same establishment, he is eligible to get gratuity as per the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. So, its not upto the Company to reject this anymore as you are eligible. you may contact me as I have handled these cases and got the required resolutions within 1-3 months max. Regards
