Transferred Abroad Before 5 Years: How Do Companies Handle Gratuity Payments?

Market Practice of Paying Gratuity/Ex-Gratia for Transferred Employees

What is the market practice of paying gratuity/ex-gratia when an employee is transferred from India to another country before completing 5 years of service? Do companies pay ex-gratia for the number of years served in lieu of gratuity, and what is the minimum years of service required or practiced?

Thank you for your inquiry.

Hi,

Transfer of Employee to Another Country

Whether the employee is transferred to a branch/group company situated in another country?

Reason for Transfer

The transfer of the employee to another country is due to the exigencies of the business requirement of the employer, right, and not at the request of the employee, right?

Salary and PF Deductions

After the transfer of the employee, is the salary paid in India with PF deductions?
