According to the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, gratuity shall be payable to an employee on the termination of his employment after he has provided continuous service for not less than five years. The question that arises is, what is the meaning of “continuous service”? An employee shall be said to be in continuous service for a period if he has, for that period, been in uninterrupted service and includes service which may be interrupted on account of sickness, accident, leave, absence from duty without leave, lay off, strike or a lock-out or cessation of work not due to any fault of the employee, whether such uninterrupted or interrupted service was rendered before or after the commencement of this Act. An employee who has rendered at least five years of service becomes entitled to the said benefit. The pre-requisite of completion of continuous service of five years shall not be necessary where the termination of the employment of any employee is due to death or disablement to the extent that the person is literally unable to provide the required services
