Can Every Employee Who Has A 5 Year Experience Eligible For Gratuity?

Can every employee who has 5 years of experience be eligible for Gratuity? Can a company have policies stating that they would not pay gratuity? Can a company pay gratuity if it does not allow PF in its clause?

Every employee with 5 years of experience may be eligible for gratuity. However, a company can have policies stating that they would not pay gratuity. Whether a company can pay gratuity without allowing PF in its clause would depend on the specific regulations and laws governing such payments.

I hope this helps clarify the potential scenarios regarding gratuity and company policies.

Yes, if it's continuous, and if the employee is on the company's payroll, he is eligible for gratuity.

Employee will be entitled to get gratuity after completion of continuous 5 years.

If the company doesn't clear the dues of any employee, the company will not pay gratuity in this case.

The question itself is confusing. The person who has completed continuous service of 5 years is eligible for Gratuity, and not 5 years of experience. Experience can be with more than one employer. Furthermore, you cannot make a policy that does not pay gratuity. You have to obey the Act and Rules.

I mean to say "The person who has completed continuous service of 5 years in one establishment is eligible for Gratuity, and not 5 years of experience. Experience can be with more than one employer.

Please, can anyone tell me about the process of obtaining an ESIC sub-code? What are the basic requirements for acquiring an ESIC sub-code? For instance, my headquarters are in Delhi, and my employees work all over India. I have to provide them with ESIC facilities, and for that, I need the sub-code. What is the procedure?

As per the court rulings, if a person works continuously for 4 years and 240 days, he is entitled to gratuity.

Company's policy cannot be against the provisions of statutes, and hence, it is not possible for companies to have a policy against the provisions of payment of gratuity.

PF and Gratuity are totally different and governed by separate statutes, namely the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The only similarity is that both are social security legislations.

Dear,

Every employee who has completed continuous service of 5 years in an organization becomes eligible for gratuity payment from that organization. As per the Shops and Establishments Act, every employee who has continuous service of 1 year and less than 5 years becomes eligible for service compensation. The calculation basis is the same in both cases. The law benefits the employee rather than the employer. The law supersedes any organization's policy. Policies must align with or exceed the respective Acts but cannot override them.

I have corrected the spelling, grammar, and formatting issues in your text. Let me know if you need further assistance.

The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 applies to factories and other establishments employing ten or more persons. On completion of five years of service, the employees are entitled to payment of gratuity at the rate of 15 days' wages for every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months, subject to a maximum of Rs. 10 lakh. The current maximum limit has been applicable since September 24, 1997. The wage ceiling for coverage under the Act was removed effective from May 24, 1994.

Kindly read the date of the revised ceiling as 24.05.2010 instead of 24.09.1997 in my above post.

If an employee has worked for 5 years in the same company, from the date of joining until the present date, they are eligible for gratuity. However, if the employee has worked in multiple companies during the same 5-year period, they are not eligible for gratuity from their current company.

Thank you.

Anyone who has completed 5 years of continuous service in a company is entitled to receive gratuity upon his resignation or retirement.

Dear All,

There has been an amendment to the act which states that the gratuity limit has been enhanced from 3.5 lakhs to Rs. 10 lakhs, effective May 24, 2010, as per the Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 2010. I will go through this amendment to be more certain of the applicability and will post the updates ASAP.

Dear Friend,

Please let me know the locations and states where the employees are currently working.

Thank you.

Dear Friends,

As per my knowledge, if an employee is on the company's payroll and continuously works for 4 years and 240 days in the same organization, then they are entitled to gratuity. The company can settle all dues from the employee's gratuity amount. However, the company cannot deduct any amount from the employee's PF amount (as per section 10(d) of the PF Act).

Thank you.

Is there any formula to calculate monthly Gratuity for the fund reservation.

If an employee serves for 5 years continuously in the same organization, they are eligible for gratuity. It is not applicable if the employee has 5 years or more of experience in various organizations; they will not be eligible for gratuity. There must be a continuous minimum of 5 years of service in the same organization for the employee to be eligible for gratuity.

Hi,

If any employee who is on the rolls of the company completes 5 years of continuous service, they will be eligible for Gratuity. The formula for calculating gratuity is as follows: Last drawn Basic * No. of years of service * 15/26. The maximum eligibility issue has also been recently revised.

As per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, payment of gratuity is compulsory by the managements of factories, plantations, mines, oil fields, railways, shops, and other establishments employing 10 or more persons. Gratuity is payable to all employees who render a minimum continuous service of five years with their present employer.

Can every employee who has 5 years of experience be eligible for gratuity?

Can a company have policies stating that they would not pay gratuity?

Can a company pay gratuity if it does not allow PF in its clause?

Dear Minky,

Your queries are replied to as follows:

1) Five years of continuous service in the company without a gap is required for gratuity, i.e., 240 working days in a year.

2) Gratuity is a statutory payment and it can't be avoided based on company policy.

3) Gratuity and PF are separate enactments.

Hi,

As per the provisions of the Gratuity Act of 1972, those who complete 5 years are entitled to gratuity. The gratuity amount will be calculated as follows: Last Drawn Basic & Dearness Allowance X 15/26 X Number of completed years of service.

If a person puts in more than 240 days of service in the fifth year, they are entitled to gratuity as per the guidelines laid down in the "Mettur Beardsell" case by the Madras High Court. Please refer to the 1998 LLR 1072 for the above case law.

If the exiting employee has caused a serious loss to the company, then the company can hold Gratuity as recovery. However, genuine documents to prove the case should be taken care of.
