Hello,
This is on behalf of my mother who has been teaching in an Un-aided educational institution in Bangalore since 25th May 2005 and is resigning on 9th April 2011. The school states that the 1st year is termed as probationary period and is refusing to pay the gratuity amount. The school states that the gratuity period of 5 years begins only after the probationary period (25 May 2006) and is using this statement to refuse the payment of gratuity as my mother is leaving the institution on 9th April 2011.
What can be done in such a case?
Thank you.
