Dear Kosh,

Yes, if a person is employed on a daily wage basis, they are also entitled to gratuity and pension benefits.

Dear Shreekanth,

I request you to elaborate on how to compute gratuity and pension for daily wagers if they have worked for 1 year and 7 months.

Kosh

Dear Kosh, if he is not eligible, he cannot receive gratuity from the employer. For more information on this point, please refer to Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

Any employee who works for at least 240 days in a calendar year for each of 5 years or more of his service period and fulfills the requirements of Sec. 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act is eligible for the payment of gratuity, whether he is daily rated or monthly rated.

Thank you!
