Gratuity - Jpg Download

Hi,
I had completed 4yrs 11 months in my comapny. Now I want to resign . As per our co. rules we have to give 1 month notice. I want to know that if I resigns today will I get a gratuity? Or I will have to complete 5 yrs & then I will get the gratuity? Let me know the rules regarding gratuity so that accordingly I can resign.

Dear
You are eligible to get gratuity even if you have worked for 4 years & 11 months. The Madras HC in the case of Mettur Beard Sell Ltd Versus RLC has decided the same type of issue. It was held that any employee who completes 240 days of service in a year in the 5th year will be deemed to have continued in service for one year as stipulated by sec. 2(a) of the Payment of Gratuity Act. It was held that an employee who has put in his services for 10 months and 18 days for the 5 year subsequent to first 4 years should be deemed to have completed , continued servcice of 5 years and is entitled for gratuity.
The case was reported as 1998 LLR 1072 (Mad H.C.)
In case you require the copy of judgment I could arrange the same and upload on this thread.
Regards

Dear Gauria,
yes,you can resign now,notice period also include in your service period which has sign of completion of 5 years of your Job.
It is better to avoid any confusion organisation side,you should complete 5 years and then resign.
In most of the cases ,we have found that organisation put forced on employee to resign or terminate employee before completion of 5 years of job to avoid gratuity benefits given to him.,but we received complaint on this from employee side and won all cases in this regards.

hi,
You are obsolutely eligible for Gratuity. As I did discussion with my senior HRs. It is clear that above six months of services is considered an as year. i.e., if an employee has served for above 4yrs and 6 months is eligible for garutity benefit.

Dear Vissu,
In my opinion as per section 4(2) of P G Act,1972 this formula of considering one year of service on completion of more than six month of service is only applicable after completion of five year continuous service.

If you wants get your gratuity you have to complete 5 yrs of service after completing 5 yrs service if you will continue more than 6 months then you will be considered as 6 yrs. Better to complete 5 yrs then resign.

If u resign on 4 yrs and 11 months and wil complete 5 yrs in notice period , u r eligible to receive Gratuity.
As noted before, as per court judgement, on completing 4 yrs and 6+ months also u r eligible for gratuity. Here, if the management says no, u may hv to fight for it.

It will help me in future for reference . I have decided to be a bit patient & will wait for 1 month. I am resigning the day I will complete my 5 Yrs.
