Hi
I have one query on GRATUITY. In current company (Bangalore, Karnataka) where I am working, I will complete 5 years on 1st Jan 2024 but I would like to exit by 10th Nov 2023. On searching internet, I am getting conflicting views, can someone throw some correct light on this
1. In my current company I was on CONTRACT hire from 5th Nov 2018 to 31st Dec 2019 (I was given contract HIRE from 5th Nov 2018 to 5th Feb 2019 but they gave me a new contract of EMPLOYEE from 1st Jan 2019 and I accepted the same) . Then in the same company I became EMPLOYEE from 1st Jan 2019 and my last date is probably going to be 10 Nov 2023. Will I be eligible for GRATUITY (I am completing my 5 years if CONTRACT hire is also included)?
2. I heard about 240 day ruling by Honorable Madras and Honorable Kerala High Court for the fifth year, will this make me eligible for gratuity as I have already crossed 240 plus days as of now. Does this ruling of different state High Court apply for Karnataka state?
Can someone tell me if #1 and /or #2 will be applicable in my case for Gratuity?
Thanks
Sujit
