Kindly give your valuable suggestions on Gratuity Payable. If an Employee works for 5 years He/She is eligible to get Gratuity.
But, What should we do in the below case.
1. An Women Employee goes on ESI Maternity Leave by 4.5 Years (Her Service Period).
2. After completing 182 Days of Maternity Leave, She came and explained that She is unable to come to Work as She has to take care of his Child. The Management also accepted her willingness.
3. When preparing Full & Final Settlement, Do we consider her Maternity Leave given from ESI as Service Period?
4. Should we provide Gratuity to Her or Not ?

Continuous service will include the days any employee was on authorized leave. Maternity leave being days a woman employee is authorised to get, whether from ESI or from the company, if she has taken 6 months leave, that period will be considered as service period for the purpose of deciding gratuity. Therefore, after 4.5 years, a woman employee goes for maternity leave and comes back after the permitted 182 days and then resign, she should be paid gratuity considering her 182 days as service periods.

Dear Kumaresh,
Yes, keeping in mind the above situation the employee is entitled for the gratuity. Also, you can ask for the notice period or in lieu of notice period payment from the employee in case the same clause is available in your appointment letter.
