Gratuity Query Doc Download - Pdf

Dear Sudhakar,
Leave with Wages is also considered as working days. Suppose you have availed 20 days of paid leave and worked for 220 days, then this will be considered as 240 working days.

Mr.Sudhakar
Why you need to take the help of '4 year 240 days' principle to claim 5 year service? Since you joined in Septemeber even as trainee and as you were tretaed as confirmed after the expiry of the trainee period, your servcie shall count from Sept 2007 and thus you complted 5 year service by Sept 2012.

Dear Sudhakar

1)Tell them that Sec.4(1) of the Payment of Gartuity Act 1972 prescribes 5 years of continuous servcie for being eligibel to calim gartuity.

2) That you have joined the servcie in sept 2007 and left it in Jan 2013, thus completing a continuous servcie of 5 years 3 months -- days. thus you have fulfilled the eligibility critirion under Sec.4(1).

3) Sec.2-A defines what is continuous servcie.While defining continuous servcie it includes even the following periods of absence in servce as part of the continuous servcie.

a)the period of lay-off

b)the period of leave with wages.

c)the period of absence due to temprary disavlement

d)the period of maternity leave (in case of feamle employes)

4) Thus no where either Sec4(1) or Sec.2-A have excluded the period of training from being part of continuous servcie.

5)When even certain periods of absence were made part of continuous servcie, excluding the period of training during which you were on duty was violative of the provisions of teh Gratuity Act.

You can present your case on the above lines.
