Gratuity Calculation Dilemma: Does UAN Generation Date Affect Employee Tenure?

Dear All, If employees join the organization on 01.03.2016 and the company generates their UAN on 13.04.2017, the rule for calculating gratuity payment is based on the working time from 13.04.2017 onwards, excluding the previous year. However, the company provided the employee with an offer letter dated 01.03.2016. Please guide me...

Thank you.

If the employee had joined on 01.03.2016 as stated, then continuous service starts on that date, and accordingly, gratuity is due and payable. There is no correlation between PF enrollment and gratuity entitlement. There is a violation of PF provision as PF contribution is mandatory from day one of service.

Hi, you have to consider the service starting from March 1, 2016, as the date of joining employment for gratuity payment.
