Dear Mr.karthick
The eligibility criterion for getting gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act is five years continuous service. and not four years. How to calculate the one year of continuous service was decided by the Honourable Madras High Court in the judgment referred to by you. A worker is deemed to have completed one year of continuous service if he had worked for 240 days in that particular year. The law on this issue is the same throughout India and is not specific to any particular State.

Please help me on this.

Respected experts,
i have worked 12 years with a JV company which is only importing and selling machines from its parent European JV partner. In India the co. was run by single promoter who now has planned to sell off his JV share to parent company after showing them a highly optimistic forecast, when the new employer takes over obviously they will have high expectation from a small workforce of us who have worked very hard all these years under the promise of better prospects with scarce resources & training and we are not optimistic now due to the changing product's market trends (since this negotiations have been going on for last 3years which has drained our patience & energy.
Can we claim our gratuity/any other benefits from present promoter or are we in compulsion to work under the new owner once the transitions suddenly takes place? do we not have any choice ? ideally we would like the our association of 12 years with present company to be rewarded first (with gratuity etc.) before entering (or not) into a new work agreement with new management. Hope you understand our dilemma and will support with useful information.
